JEREMIAH 2:9-17

002:009 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.
002:010 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
002:011 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
002:012 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
002:013 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
002:014 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
002:015 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
002:016 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
002:017 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
