Jeremiah 2:18-20
Evangelical Heritage Version
18 So why are you on the road to Egypt
to drink the water of the Shihor?[a]
And why are you on the road to Assyria
to drink the water of the River?[b]
19 It is your own evil that will bring discipline on you.
Your backsliding will judge you.
Know and see how evil and bitter it is for you
to forsake the Lord your God,
to have no fear of me,
declares the Lord God of Armies.
20 Long ago I broke your yoke.
I[c] tore off your chains,
but you said, “I will not serve you!”
Instead, on every high hill
and under every green tree
you sprawl out like a prostitute.
