Jeremiah 2:12-14
Easy-to-Read Version
12 “Skies, be shocked at what happened!
Shake with great fear!”
This message is from the Lord.
13 “My people have done two evil things.
They turned away from me,
and they dug their own water cisterns.[a]
I am the source of living water;
those cisterns are broken and cannot hold water.
14 “Israel is not a slave, is he?
He was not born a slave, was he?
Then why did the enemy carry him away as a captive?
