Jeremiah 2:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Lions roar at him; they growl.
    They destroy his land
        and make his towns desolate
        until nothing is left.
¹⁶ As well, the people of Memphis and Tahpanhes
    lay open your scalp.
¹⁷ Haven’t you brought this on yourself
    by abandoning the Lord your God,
        who has directed your paths?
