Jeremiah 2:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² Be astonished and appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked and shrivel up with horror, says the Lord [at the behavior of the people].

¹³ For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the Fountain of living waters, and they have hewn for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns which cannot hold water.

¹⁴ Is Israel a servant? Is he a homeborn slave? Why has he become a captive and a prey?
