Jeremiah 2:10-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
10
For cross to the coastlands of Kittim and see,
And send to Kedar and observe closely,
And see if there has been
anything
like this!
11
Has a nation changed gods,
When they were not gods?
But My people have exchanged their glory
For that which is of no benefit.
12
Be appalled at this, you heavens,
And shudder, be very desolate,' declares the
Lord
.
13
'For My people have committed two evils:
They have abandoned Me,
The fountain of living waters,
To carve out for themselves cisterns,
Broken cisterns
That do not hold water.
14
'Is Israel a slave? Or is he a servant born in the home?
Why has he become plunder?
15
The young lions have roared at him,
They have roared loudly.
And they have made his land a waste;
His cities have been destroyed, without inhabitant.
16
Also the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes
Have shaved your head.
17
Have you not done this to yourself
By your abandoning the
Lord
your God
When He led you in the way?
18
But now what are you doing on the road to Egypt,
Except
to drink the waters of the Nile?
Or what are you doing on the road to Assyria,
Except
to drink the waters of the
Euphrates
River?
19
Your own wickedness will correct you,
And your apostasies will punish you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and bitter
For you to abandon the
Lord
your God,
And the fear of Me is not in you,' declares the Lord
God
of armies.
King James Version
Chapter 2
10
For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
11
Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
12
Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the
Lord
.
13
For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14
Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
15
The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
16
Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
17
Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the
Lord
thy God, when he led thee by the way?
18
And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
19
Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the
Lord
thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord
God
of hosts.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
10
Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus and take a look.
Send someone to Kedar and consider carefully;
see if there has ever been anything like this:
11
Has a nation ever exchanged its gods?
(But they were not gods! )
Yet my people have exchanged their Glory
for useless idols.
12
Be appalled at this, heavens;
be shocked and utterly desolated! This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
13
For my people have committed a double evil:
They have abandoned me,
the fountain of living water,
and dug cisterns for themselves—
cracked cisterns that cannot hold water.
14
Is Israel a slave?
Was he born into slavery?
Why else has he become a prey?
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?
18
Now what will you gain
by traveling along the way to Egypt
to drink the water of the Nile?
What will you gain
by traveling along the way to Assyria
to drink the water of the Euphrates?
19
Your own evil will discipline you;
your own apostasies will reprimand you.
Recognize how evil and bitter it is
for you to abandon the
Lord
your God
and to have no fear of me. This is the declaration of the Lord
God
of Armies.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
10
'Go west and look in the land of Cyprus ;
go east and search through the land of Kedar.
Has anyone ever heard of anything
as strange as this?
11
Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones,
even though they are not gods at all?
Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God
for worthless idols!
12
The heavens are shocked at such a thing
and shrink back in horror and dismay,'
says the
Lord
.
13
'For my people have done two evil things:
They have abandoned me —
the fountain of living water.
And they have dug for themselves cracked cisterns
that can hold no water at all!
14
'Why has Israel become a slave?
Why has he been carried away as plunder?
15
Strong lions have roared against him,
and the land has been destroyed.
The towns are now in ruins,
and no one lives in them anymore.
16
Egyptians, marching from their cities of Memphis and Tahpanhes,
have destroyed Israel’s glory and power.
17
And you have brought this upon yourselves
by rebelling against the
Lord
your God,
even though he was leading you on the way!
18
'What have you gained by your alliances with Egypt
and your covenants with Assyria?
What good to you are the streams of the Nile
or the waters of the Euphrates River?
19
Your wickedness will bring its own punishment.
Your turning from me will shame you.
You will see what an evil, bitter thing it is
to abandon the
Lord
your God and not to fear him.
I, the Lord, the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!

Also, the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes

Almighty.
