Revised Standard Version
Jeremiah 2:12-14
Revised Standard Version
12 Be appalled, O heavens, at this,
be shocked, be utterly desolate,
says the Lord,
13 for my people have committed two evils:
they have forsaken me,
the fountain of living waters,
and hewed out cisterns for themselves,
broken cisterns,
that can hold no water.
14 “Is Israel a slave? Is he a homeborn servant?
Why then has he become a prey?
Jeremiah 2:12-14

They have forsaken(A) me,
the spring of living water,(B)
and have dug their own cisterns,

Why then has he become plunder?
