Jeremiah 2:16 in context

  1. 14Is Israel a slave?
    Is he born into slavery?
    Why has he become a captive?
  2. 15The young lions have roared at him and yelled.
    They have made his land waste.
    His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
  3. 16The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.
  4. 17“Haven’t you brought this on yourself,
    in that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, when he led you by the way?
  5. 18Now what do you gain by going to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor?
    Or why do you to go on the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
