Jeremiah 2:13-15

Tree of Life Version

¹³ “My people have committed two evils:
    They have forsaken Me
        —the spring of living water—
    and they dug their own cisterns—
        cracked cisterns that hold no water.
¹⁴ Is Israel a servant—a slave by birth?
    Then why has he become plunder?
¹⁵ Young lions have roared at him
        they have roared loudly.
    They made his land a waste—
        his cities are in ruins and uninhabited.
