Jeremiah 2:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 O ye [a]heavens, be astonied at this: be afraid and utterly confounded, saith the Lord.
13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me [b]the fountain of living waters, to dig them pits, even broken pits that can hold no water.
14 Is Israel a [c]servant, or is he born in the house? why then is he spoiled?

- Jeremiah 2:12 He showeth that the insensible creatures abhor this vile ingratitude, and as it were tremble for fear of God’s great judgments against the same.
- Jeremiah 2:13 Signifying, that when men forsake God’s word, which is the fountain of life, they reject God himself, and so fall to their own inventions, and vain confidence, and procure to themselves destruction, Jonah 2:8; Zech. 10:2.
- Jeremiah 2:14 Have I ordered them like servants and not like dearly beloved children? Exod. 4:22, therefore it is their fault only, if the enemy spoil them.

Jeremiah 2:12-14
New International Version
12 Be appalled at this, you heavens,
and shudder with great horror,”
declares the Lord.
13 “My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken(A) me,
the spring of living water,(B)
and have dug their own cisterns,
broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
14 Is Israel a servant, a slave(C) by birth?
Why then has he become plunder?
