16. The men from the Egyptian cities of Memphis and Tahpanheshave disgraced you by shaving the top of your head.
17. You have brought this on yourselves.You turned away from me, the Lord your God,when I led you in the way.
18. It did not help to go to Egyptand drink from the Shihor River.It did not help to go to Assyriaand drink from the Euphrates River.
