Jeremiah 2:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 For my people are guilty of two evils:
they have forsaken me,
the fountain of living water,
and they have dug cisterns for themselves,
cracked cisterns that hold no water.
14 Is Israel a slave?
Was he born to be a servant?
Why then has he become plunder?
15 His enemies roar loudly at him like lions;[a]
they have made his country a wasteland;
his cities are burned to the ground and deserted.
