Jeremiah 2:11-17 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

11. Has a nation changed its gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.

12. Be astonished, O you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be you very desolate,

13. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed themselves out 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 upon him, and growled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.

16. Also the children of Noph and Tahpanes have broken the crown of your head.

17. Have you not brought this unto yourself, in that you have forsaken the LORD your God, when he led you by the way?
