Jeremiah 2:12-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
12 Be horrified at this, heavens;(A)
be shocked and utterly appalled.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
13 For My people have committed a double evil:
They have abandoned Me,(B)
the fountain of living water,(C)
and dug cisterns for themselves,
cracked cisterns that cannot hold water.(D)
Consequences of Apostasy
14 Is Israel a slave?
Was he born into slavery?[a]
Why else has he become a prey?

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?
