Jeremiah 2:12-14

World English Bible

¹² “Be astonished, you heavens, at this
    and be horribly afraid.
    Be very desolate,” says Yahweh.
¹³ “For my people have committed two evils:
    they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters,
    and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.
¹⁴ Is Israel a slave?
    Is he born into slavery?
    Why has he become a captive?
