Jeremiah 2:18-20

New King James Version

¹⁸ And now why take ^(A)the road to Egypt,
To drink the waters of ^(B)Sihor?
Or why take the road to ^(C)Assyria,
To drink the waters of ^[a]the River?
¹⁹ Your own wickedness will ^(D)correct you,
And your backslidings will rebuke you.
Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing
That you have forsaken the Lord your God,
And the ^[b]fear of Me is not in you,”
Says the Lord God of hosts.
