Jeremiah 2:18-20
Christian Standard Bible
18 Now what will you gain
by traveling along the way to Egypt(A)
to drink the water of the Nile?[a]
What will you gain
by traveling along the way to Assyria(B)
to drink the water of the Euphrates?(C)
19 Your own evil will discipline you;(D)
your own apostasies will reprimand you.
Recognize[b] how evil and bitter(E) it is
for you to abandon the Lord your God
and to have no fear of me.
This is the declaration of the Lord God of Armies.
20 For long ago I[c] broke your yoke;(F)
I[d] tore off your chains.
You insisted, “I will not serve!”
On every high hill
and under every green tree(G)
you lay down like a prostitute.(H)
