Jeremiah 2:13-15
Easy-to-Read Version
13 “My people have done two evil things.
They turned away from me,
and they dug their own water cisterns.[a]
I am the source of living water;
those cisterns are broken and cannot hold water.
14 “Israel is not a slave, is he?
He was not born a slave, was he?
Then why did the enemy carry him away as a captive?
15 Like a lion the enemy has roared at Israel.
They have destroyed your[b] land.
Your cities have been burned,
and no one is left in them.
