They made his land waste;
His cities are burned, without inhabitant.
In that you have forsaken the Lord your God
When bHe led you in the way?
To drink the waters of1 bSihor?
Or why take the road to cAssyria,
To drink the waters of the River?
And your backslidings will rebuke you.
Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing
That you have forsaken the Lord your God,
And the1 fear of Me is not in you,”
Says the Lord God of hosts.
And byou said, ‘I will not transgress,’
When con every high hill and under every green tree
You lay down, dplaying the harlot.
How then have you turned before Me
Into bthe degenerate plant of an alien vine?
Yet your iniquity is amarked before Me,” says the Lord God.
I have not gone after the Baals’?
See your way in the valley;
Know what you have done:
You are a swift dromedary breaking loose in her ways,
That sniffs at the wind in her desire;
In her time of mating, who can turn her away?
All those who seek her will not weary themselves;
In her month they will find her.
But you said, a‘There is no hope.
No! For I have loved baliens, and after them I will go.’
| << Jeremiah 2:16 | Jeremiah 2:18 >> |
