Jeremiah 2:14-19

14Is IsraelH3478 a servantH5650? is he a home-born slaveH5650? whyH4069 is he becomeH1961 a preyH957? 15The youngH3715 lionsH3715 have roaredH7580 upon him, and yelled; and they have madeH5414 his landH776 wasteH8047: his citiesH5892 are burnedH3341 up, without inhabitantH3427. 16The children alsoH1571 of MemphisH5297 and TahpanhesH8471 have broken the crown of thy head. 17Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy GodH430, when he led thee by the wayH1870? 18And nowH6258 what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 to EgyptH4714, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of the ShihorH7883? or what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 to AssyriaH804, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of the RiverH5104? 19Thine own wickednessH7451 shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reproveH3198 thee: knowH3045 therefore and seeH7200 that it is an evilH7451 thing and a bitterH4751, that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy GodH430, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hostsH6635.
