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.

Jeremiah 2:18
And now - What business hast thou there? Sihor - The Nile: it signifies black, called Melas by the Greeks, either from the blackness of the land it passed through, or of the soil it casts up. The waters - Here and by the same words before is meant, to seek help from either place. River - Euphrates, often called so by way of eminency.
