Jeremiah 2:18-20
English Standard Version Anglicised
18 (A)And now what do you gain by going to Egypt
to drink the waters of (B)the Nile?
(C)Or what do you gain by going to Assyria
to drink the waters of (D)the Euphrates?
19 (E)Your evil will chastise you,
and (F)your apostasy will reprove you.
Know and see that it is evil and (G)bitter
for (H)you to forsake the Lord your God;
the fear of me is not in you,
declares the Lord God of hosts.
20 “For long ago I (I)broke your yoke
and burst your bonds;
but you said, (J)‘I will not serve.’
Yes, (K)on every high hill
and under every green tree
you bowed down (L)like a whore.

Jeremiah 2:18-20
New International Version
18 Now why go to Egypt(A)
to drink water from the Nile[a]?(B)
And why go to Assyria(C)
to drink water from the Euphrates?(D)
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(E) will rebuke(F) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(G) it is for you
when you forsake(H) the Lord your God
and have no awe(I) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
