Jeremiah 2:15-17
Easy-to-Read Version
15 Like a lion the enemy has roared at Israel.
They have destroyed your[a] land.
Your cities have been burned,
and no one is left in them.
16 People from Memphis and Tahpanhes[b]
have smashed the top of your head.
17 This trouble is your own fault.
The Lord your God was leading you the right way,[c]
but you turned away from him.
