Jeremiah 2:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ Young lions roar at him, they cry out loudly.
    They have made his land into a wasteland,
and his cities are destroyed
    so they are without inhabitants.
¹⁶ Also, people from Memphis and Tahpanhes^[a]
    have broken^[b] your skull.
¹⁷ You have done this to yourselves, have you not,
    by forsaking the Lord your God, when he
        is the one who led you on the way?
