Jeremiah 2:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me [a]the fountain of living waters, to dig them pits, even broken pits that can hold no water.
14 Is Israel a [b]servant, or is he born in the house? why then is he spoiled?
15 The [c]Lions roared upon him and yelled, and they have made his land waste: his cities are burnt without [d]an inhabitant.
