Jeremiah 2:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ Israel's people are surely not slaves.
    They were not born as slaves.
But their enemies have taken them away as prisoners.
¹⁵ Their enemies have attacked them like lions.
    They have destroyed my people's land.
They have destroyed your cities with fire.
    Nobody lives in them any more.
¹⁶ Soldiers from Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken your skulls!^[a]
