Yirmeyah 2:17-19
Orthodox Jewish Bible
17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken Hashem Eloheicha, when He led thee by the derech?
18 And now what hast thou to do in the derech Mitzrayim, to drink the waters of the Shichor [[Nile] River]? Or what hast thou to do in the derech Ashur (Assyria), to drink the waters of the Euphrates [River]?
19 Thine own ra’ah shall correct thee, and thy meshuvot (backslidings) shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and mar (bitter), that thou hast forsaken Hashem Eloheicha, and that My pachad is not in thee, saith Adonoi Hashem Tzva’os.

Jeremiah 2:17-19
New International Version
17 Have you not brought this on yourselves(A)
by forsaking(B) the Lord your God
when he led you in the way?
18 Now why go to Egypt(C)
to drink water from the Nile[a]?(D)
And why go to Assyria(E)
to drink water from the Euphrates?(F)
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(G) will rebuke(H) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(I) it is for you
when you forsake(J) the Lord your God
and have no awe(K) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
