Jeremiah 2:16 YLT

¹⁴  A servant 'is' Israel? Is he a child of the house? Wherefore hath he been for a prey?

¹⁵  Against him roar do young lions, They have given forth their voice, And make his land become a desolation, His cities have been burnt without inhabitant.

¹⁶  Also sons of Noph and Tahapanes Consume thee -- the crown of the head!

¹⁷  Dost thou not do this to thyself? 'By' thy forsaking Jehovah thy God, At the time He is leading thee in the way?

¹⁸  And now, what -- to thee in the way of Egypt, To drink the waters of Sihor? And what -- to thee in the way of Asshur, To drink the waters of the River?
