Jeremiah 2:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ People from Noph and Tahpanhes have cracked your skulls, Israel.
¹⁷ You have brought this on yourself
by abandoning the Lord your God
when he led you on his way.
¹⁸ You won’t gain anything by going to Egypt
to drink water from the Nile River.
You won’t gain anything by going to Assyria
to drink water from the Euphrates River.
