Jeremiah 2:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ The lions have roared upon him, and have made a noise, they have made his land a wilderness: his cities are burnt down and there is none to dwell in them.

¹⁶ The children also of Memphis, and of Taphnes have deflowered thee, even to the crown of the head.

¹⁷ Hath not this been done to thee, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God at that time, when he led thee by the way?
