Jeremiah 2:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ Even the sons of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.

¹⁷ Could this not have come upon you peradventure because thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?

¹⁸ And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt? to drink the waters of the Nile? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria? to drink the waters of the river Eufrates?
