Jeremiah 2:14-16
Amplified Bible

“Is Israel a servant? Is he a slave by birth?
Why has he become a captive and a prey?

“The young lions have roared at him,
They have made their voices heard and roared loudly.
And they have made his land a waste;
His cities have been destroyed and are burned ruins, without inhabitant.

“Moreover, the men of [a]Memphis and [b]Tahpanhes [as powerful enemies]
Have shaved the crown of your head [to degrade you].
