International Standard Version

Consequences of Israel’s Unfaithfulness

14 “Is Israel a slave, or was he born a servant?[a]
    Why then has he become plunder?
15 Young lions roar at him, they cry out loudly.
    They have made his land into a wasteland,
and his cities are destroyed
    so they are without inhabitants.
16 Also, people from Memphis and Tahpanhes[b]
    have broken[c] your skull.
