Jeremiah 2:17-19
Christian Standard Bible
17 Have you not brought this on yourself(A)
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(B)
to drink the water of the Nile?[a]
What will you gain
by traveling along the way to Assyria(C)
to drink the water of the Euphrates?(D)
19 Your own evil will discipline you;(E)
your own apostasies will reprimand you.
Recognize[b] how evil and bitter(F) 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 Armies.
