Jeremiah 2:18-20
Tree of Life Version
18 But now, what is on the road to Egypt?
Drinking the waters of the Nile?
Or what is on the road to Assyria?
Drinking the waters of the Euphrates?
19 Your own wickedness will rebuke you
and your backslidings will chide you.
Know then and see
how bad and bitter it is for you
to forsake Adonai your God.
Nor is fear of Me in you.”
It is a declaration of the Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot.
20 “Indeed, long ago I broke your yoke
and tore off your bonds.
You said, ‘I will not serve!’
Instead, on every high hill
and under every green tree
you sprawled out as a prostitute.
Jeremiah 2:18-20
New International Version
18 Now why go to Egypt(A)
to drink water from the Nile[a]?(B)
And why go to Assyria(C)
to drink water from the Euphrates?(D)
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(E) will rebuke(F) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(G) it is for you
when you forsake(H) the Lord your God
and have no awe(I) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
