Jeremiah 2:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ For my people have done two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and have digged to themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

¹⁴ Is Israel a bondman, or a homeborn slave? why then is he become prey?

¹⁵ The lions have roared upon him, and have made a noise, they have made his land a wilderness: his cities are burnt down and there is none to dwell in them.
