Jeremiah 2:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 O ye [a]heavens, be astonied at this: be afraid and utterly confounded, saith the Lord.
13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me [b]the fountain of living waters, to dig them pits, even broken pits that can hold no water.
14 Is Israel a [c]servant, or is he born in the house? why then is he spoiled?
