Jeremiah 2:10-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

10. For pass beyond the coasts of Cyprus and see,Send to Kedar and consider diligently,And see if there has been such a thing.

11. Has a nation changed its gods,Which are not gods?But My people have changed their GloryFor what does not profit.

12. Be astonished, O heavens, at this,And be horribly afraid;Be very desolate,” says the Lord.

13. “For My people have committed two evils:They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters,And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.

14. “Is Israel a servant?Is he a homeborn slave?Why is he plundered?

15. The young lions roared at him, and growled;They made his land waste;His cities are burned, without inhabitant.

16. Also the people of Noph and TahpanhesHave broken the crown of your head.
