Jeremiah 2:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ “My people have done two evils:
They have turned away from me,
    the spring of living water.
And they have dug their own wells,
    which 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 were they taken captive?
¹⁵ Enemies have roared like lions at Israel;
    they have growled at Israel.
They have destroyed the land of Israel.
    The cities of Israel lie in ruins,
    and all the people have left.
