Jeremiah 2:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 Have you not brought this upon yourself
by forsaking the Lord your God,
while he led you in the way?(A)
18 What then do you gain by going to Egypt,
to drink the waters of the Nile?
Or what do you gain by going to Assyria,
to drink the waters of the Euphrates?(B)
19 Your wickedness will punish you,
and your faithlessness will convict you.
Know and see that it is evil and bitter
for you to forsake the Lord your God;
the fear of me is not in you,
says the Lord God of hosts.(C)
