Jeremiah 2:13-15

World English Bible

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?
¹⁵ The young lions have roared at him and yelled.
    They have made his land waste.
    His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
