Jeremiah 2:16-18
New Living Translation

16 Egyptians, marching from their cities of Memphis[a] and Tahpanhes,
    have destroyed Israel’s glory and power.
17 And you have brought this upon yourselves
    by rebelling against the Lord your God,
    even though he was leading you on the way!

18 “What have you gained by your alliances with Egypt
    and your covenants with Assyria?
What good to you are the streams of the Nile[b]
    or the waters of the Euphrates River?[c]
