Jeremiah 2:13-15
American Standard Version
Jeremiah 2:13-15
American Standard Version
13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14 Is Israel a servant? is he a home-born slave? why is he become a prey? 15 The young lions have roared upon him, and [a]yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.

Jeremiah 2:13-15
New International Version
13 “My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken(A) me,
the spring of living water,(B)
and have dug their own cisterns,
broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
14 Is Israel a servant, a slave(C) by birth?
Why then has he become plunder?
15 Lions(D) have roared;
they have growled at him.
They have laid waste(E) his land;
his towns are burned(F) and deserted.(G)
