Jeremiah 2:11-20

Jeremiah 2:11-20 TPT

Has a nation ever traded in its gods (even though they are not really gods)? But my people have bartered away their glory in exchange for gods who do nothing. Be appalled, O heavens, and cringe with fear! Be shocked and utterly devastated at this betrayal! I, YAHWEH, have spoken. “My people are guilty of a double sin: they have abandoned me, the Spring of Living Water, and they have dug for themselves cisterns — cracked cisterns that hold no water.” “Is Israel a slave? Was he born a slave? Why, then, has he been seized like prey? His enemies have raged against him, roaring like fierce lions. They leveled his cities, left them without inhabitants, and devastated his land. Moreover, Egyptian armies will march from Memphis and Tahpanhes. They will come and shave your head bald. Israel, you have no one to blame but yourselves! You stubbornly turned away even though YAHWEH, your God, was leading you the right way. Why, then, would you now go down to Egypt to drink the waters of the Nile? Why would you go to Assyria to drink from the river Euphrates? Your own wickedness punishes you. Your own unfaithfulness rebukes you. Look deep into your heart and you will learn how evil and bitter it is to forsake me, YAHWEH your God, and have no awe of me. I, YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, have spoken.” “Long ago, you broke your bond with me and severed ties. You boldly said, ‘I will not serve you!’ Yet, on every high hill and under every green tree, you offered yourself to other gods. You were like a prostitute sprawled out awaiting sex.
