Jeremiah 2:14-16

14 Is Israel a servant? is he a home-born slave? why is he become a prey? 15 The young lions have roared upon him, and [a]yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant. 16 The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have [b]broken the crown of thy head.
