Jeremiah 2:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
Jeremiah 2:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
13 My people have done two evil things:
I give them life, like a spring of fresh water,
but they have turned away from me.
Instead, they have tried to get water for themselves.
They have dug holes in the ground to store it.
But those holes cannot hold the water.
It quickly runs away.
14 Israel's people are surely not slaves.
They were not born as slaves.
But their enemies have taken them away as prisoners.
15 Their enemies have attacked them like lions.
They have destroyed my people's land.
They have destroyed your cities with fire.
Nobody lives in them any more.

New International Version
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)
