Jeremiah 2:18-20
World English Bible
18 Now what do you gain by going to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor?
Or why do you to go on the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?[a]
19 “Your own wickedness will correct you,
and your backsliding will rebuke you.
Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing,
that you have forsaken Yahweh your God,
and that my fear is not in you,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
20 “For long ago I broke off your yoke,
and burst your bonds.
You said, ‘I will not serve;’
for on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed yourself,
playing the prostitute.

Jeremiah 2:18-20
New International Version
18 Now why go to Egypt(A)
to drink water from the Nile[a]?(B)
And why go to Assyria(C)
to drink water from the Euphrates?(D)
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(E) will rebuke(F) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(G) it is for you
when you forsake(H) the Lord your God
and have no awe(I) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
