15 Like a lion the enemy has roared at Israel.
    They have destroyed your[a] land.
Your cities have been burned,
    and no one is left in them.
16 People from Memphis and Tahpanhes[b]

17 This trouble is your own fault.
    The Lord your God was leading you the right way,[c]
    but you turned away from him.
