Jeremiah 2:16-18
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
16 Moreover, the people of Memphis and Tahpanhes
have broken the crown of your head.
17 Have you not brought this upon yourself
by forsaking the Lord your God,
while he led you in the way?
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?
Jeremiah 2:16-18

And why go to Assyria(G)
to drink water from the Euphrates?(H)
