Jeremiah 2:16 WEB

¹⁴  Is Israel a servant? is he a home-born [slave]? why is he become a prey?

¹⁵  The young lions have roared on him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.

¹⁶  The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.

¹⁷  Haven't you procured this to yourself, in that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, when he led you by the way?

¹⁸  Now what have you to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? or what have you to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
