Jeremiah 2:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and ye gates thereof, be very desolate, saith the Lord.

¹³ For my people have done two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and have digged to themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

¹⁴ Is Israel a bondman, or a homeborn slave? why then is he become prey?
