Jeremiah 2:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 Also the [a]men of (A)Memphis and Tahpanhes
Have [b]shaved the (B)top of your head.
17 Have you not (C)done this to yourself
By your forsaking Yahweh your God
When He (D)led you in the way?
18 But now what are you doing (E)on the road to Egypt,
To drink the waters of the [c](F)Nile?
Or what are you doing on the road to Assyria,
To drink the waters of the [d]River?
