Jeremiah 2:17-19
Complete Jewish Bible
17 “Haven’t you brought this on yourself
by abandoning Adonai your God
when he led you along the way?
18 If you go to Egypt, what’s in it for you?
Drinking water from the Nile?
If you go to Ashur, what’s in it for you?
Drinking water from the [Euphrates] River?
19 Your own wickedness will correct you,
your own backslidings will convict you;
you will know and see how bad and bitter
it was to abandon Adonai your God,
and how fear of me is not in you,”
says Adonai Elohim-Tzva’ot.

Jeremiah 2:17-19
New International Version
17 Have you not brought this on yourselves(A)
by forsaking(B) the Lord your God
when he led you in the way?
18 Now why go to Egypt(C)
to drink water from the Nile[a]?(D)
And why go to Assyria(E)
to drink water from the Euphrates?(F)
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(G) will rebuke(H) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(I) it is for you
when you forsake(J) the Lord your God
and have no awe(K) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
