Jeremiah 2:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version

16 The men of Memphis[a] and Tahpanhes
    have shaved the top of your head.[b]
17 Have you not brought this on yourself
    by deserting the Lord your God
    while he led you on the way?
18 So why are you on the road to Egypt
    to drink the water of the Shihor?[c]
And why are you on the road to Assyria
    to drink the water of the River?[d]
