Jeremiah 2:12

“Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says the LORD,

“and I will contend with your children’s children.

For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see.

Send to Kedar, and consider diligently,

and see if there has been such a thing.

Has a nation changed its gods,

which really are no gods?

But my people have changed their glory for that which doesn’t profit.

“For my people have committed two evils:

they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters,

and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.

Is Israel a slave?

Is he born into slavery?

Why has he become a captive?

The young lions have roared at him and raised their voices.

They have made his land waste.

His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
