Jeremiah 2:9-19

9Wherefore I will yet pleadH7378 with youH3651, saith the LORDH3068, and with your children’sH1121 childrenH1121 will I pleadH7378.

10For passH5674 over to the islesH339 of KittimH3794, and seeH7200; and sendH7971 unto KedarH6938, and considerH7200 diligentlyH3966; and seeH7200 ifH3588 there hath been suchH2063 a thingH2063.

11Hath a nationH1471 changedH4171 their godsH430, whichH1471 yet are noH3808 godsH430? but my peopleH5971 have changedH4171 their gloryH3519 for that whichH1471 doth notH3808 profitH3276.

12Be astonishedH8074, O ye heavensH8064, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye veryH3966 desolateH8074, saith the LORDH3068.

13For my peopleH5971 have committedH6213 twoH8147 evils; they have forsaken meH3808 the fountainH4726 of livingH2416 watersH4325, and hewedH2672 them outH2672 cisternsH877, brokenH7665 cisternsH877, that canH834 holdH3557 noH3808 waterH4325.

14Is IsraelH3478 a servantH5650? is he a homeborn slaveH5650? whyH4069 is he becomeH1961 a preyH957?

15The youngH3715 lionsH3715 have roaredH7580 uponH5921 him, and yelled: and they have madeH5414 his landH776 wasteH8047; his citiesH5892 are burnedH3341 upH5921, withoutH1097 inhabitantH3427.

16The childrenH1121 also of Noph and TahpanhesH8471 have broken the crownH6936 of thy headH6936.

17Hast thou notH3808 procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, when he led thee by the wayH1870?

18And nowH6258 whatH4100 hast thou to doH4100 in the wayH1870 to EgyptH4714, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of ShihorH7883? or whatH4100 hast thou to doH4100 in the wayH1870 to AssyriaH804, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of the RiverH5104?

19Thine own wickednessH7451 shall correctH3256 thee, and thy backslidings shall reproveH3198 thee: knowH3045 therefore and seeH7200 that it is an evilH7451 thingH3588 and a bitterH4751, that thou hast forsaken the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and that my fear is notH3808 in thee, saith the LordH3068, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
