Jeremiah 2:14-17

14“Israel is not a slave, is he? He was not born into slavery, was he? If not, why then is he being carried off?

15Like lions his enemies roar victoriously over him; they raise their voices in triumph. They have laid his land waste; his cities have been burned down and deserted.

16Even the soldiers from Memphis and Tahpanhes have cracked your skulls, people of Israel.

17You have brought all this on yourself, Israel, by deserting the Lord your God when he was leading you along the right path.
