Jeremiah 2:16

Consequences Of Apostasy

¹⁵ The young lions have roared at him;
they have roared loudly.
They have laid waste his land.
His cities are in ruins, without inhabitants.
¹⁶ The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes
have also broken your skull.
¹⁷ Have you not brought this on yourself
by abandoning the Lord your God
while He was leading you along the way?
