Jeremiah 2:17-19
New King James Version
Jeremiah 2:17-19
New King James Version
17 (A)Have you not brought this on yourself,
In that you have forsaken the Lord your God
When (B)He led you in the way?
18 And now why take (C)the road to Egypt,
To drink the waters of (D)Sihor?
Or why take the road to (E)Assyria,
To drink the waters of [a]the River?
19 Your own wickedness will (F)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.
