Jeremiah 2:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ “My people have done two sins.
They have turned away from me.
    And I am the spring of living water.
And they have dug their own wells.
    But they are broken wells that cannot hold water.
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.
