Jeremiah 2:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Be incredulous at this, O heavens;
    shudder in your horror, says the Lord.
¹³ For my people are guilty of two evils:
    they have forsaken me,
    the fountain of living water,
and they have dug cisterns for themselves,
    cracked cisterns that hold no water.
¹⁴ Is Israel a slave?
    Was he born to be a servant?
    Why then has he become plunder?
