Jeremiah 2:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Have the people of Israel become slaves?
    Have they become like someone who was born a slave?
    Why was their wealth stolen?
¹⁵ Enemies roar like lions at Israel.
    They growl at Israel.
They have destroyed the land of Israel.
    The cities of Israel have been burned,
    and all the people have left.
¹⁶ The men from the Egyptian cities of Memphis and Tahpanhes
    have disgraced you by shaving the top of your head.
