Jeremiah 2:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² Be astonished at this, O heavens,
    and be horribly afraid, be very desolate,
    says the Lord.
¹³ For My people have committed two evils.
They have forsaken Me,
    the fountain of living waters,
and hewed out for themselves cisterns,
    broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
¹⁴ Is Israel a servant? Is he a homeborn slave?
    Why has he been plundered?
