Jeremiah 2:17-19

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁷ Have you not ^(A)done this to yourself
By your forsaking Yahweh your God
When He ^(B)led you in the way?
¹⁸ But now what are you doing ^(C)on the road to Egypt,
To drink the waters of the ^[a](D)Nile?
Or what are you doing on the road to Assyria,
To drink the waters of the ^[b]River?
^19 (E)Your own evil will chastise you,
And your ^(F)acts of faithlessness will reprove you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and ^(G)bitter
For you to forsake Yahweh your God,
And ^(H)the dread of Me is not in you,” declares Lord Yahweh of hosts.
