Jeremiah 2:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ “Have you not brought this on yourself, because you have forsaken the LORD your God, when He led you by the way?

¹⁸ “And what are you now doing on the way of Egypt, to drink the water of Nilus? Or why do you take the way of Assyria, to drink the water of the River?

¹⁹ “Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backslidings shall reprove you. Know, therefore, and behold that it is an evil thing, and bitter, that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and that My fear is not in you,” says the LORD God of Hosts.
