Jeremiah 2:14-19
Lexham English Bible
14 Is Israel a slave? Or a slave born in a house?[a]
Why has he become plunder?
15 The young lions have roared against him,
they have raised[b] their voices.[c]
And they have made his land as horror;
his cities are destroyed, without[d] an inhabitant.
16 Moreover, people of Memphis and Tahpanhes
will shave[e] your skull.[f]
17 Did you not do this to yourself,
by forsaking Yahweh, your God,
at the time of your leading in the way?
18 And now why do you go[g] the way of Egypt
to drink the waters of the Shihor?
And why do you go[h] the way of Assyria
to drink the waters of the Euphrates?[i]
19 Your wickedness will chastise you,
and your apostasies will reprove you.
Therefore know and see that it is evil and bitter,
your forsaking of Yahweh, your God,
and fear of me is not in you,”
declares[j] the Lord, Yahweh of hosts.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Consequences of Apostasy
14 Is Israel a slave?
Was he born into slavery?[a]
Why else has he become a prey?
15 The young lions have roared at him;(A)
they have roared loudly.
They have laid waste his land.(B)
His cities are in ruins, without inhabitants.
16 The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes(C)
have also broken your skull.
17 Have you not brought this on yourself(D)
by abandoning the Lord your God
while He was leading you along the way?
18 Now what will you gain
by traveling along the way to Egypt(E)
to drink the waters of the Nile?[b]
What will you gain
by traveling along the way to Assyria(F)
to drink the waters of the Euphrates?(G)
19 Your own evil will discipline you;(H)
your own apostasies will reprimand you.
Think it over and see how evil and bitter(I) it is
for you to abandon the Lord your God
and to have no fear of Me.
This is the declaration
of the Lord God of Hosts.
