Jeremiah 2:14-16

14“Is Israel 1a slave? Or is he a homeborn servant? Why has he become a prey?15The young 2lions have roared at him, They have 3roared loudly. And they have 4made his land a waste; His cities have been destroyed, without inhabitant.16Also the 5men of 6Memphis and Tahpanhes Have 7shaved the 8crown of your head.
