Jeremiah 2:14-19

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

14“Is Israel a slave? Or is he a servant born in the home?
Why has he become plunder?
15“The young lions have roared at him,
They have roared loudly.
And they have made his land a waste;
His cities have been destroyed, without inhabitant.
16“Also the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes
Have shaved your head.
17“Have you not done this to yourself
By your abandoning the Lord your God
When He led you in the way?
18“But now what are you doing on the road to Egypt,
Except to drink the waters of the Nile?
Or what are you doing on the road to Assyria,
Except to drink the waters of the Euphrates River?
19“Your own wickedness will correct you,
And your apostasies will punish you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and bitter
For you to abandon the Lord your God,
And the fear of Me is not in you,” declares the Lord God of armies.
