Jeremiah 2:17-19
Jubilee Bible 2000
17 Could this not have come upon you peradventure because 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 the Nile? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria? to drink the waters of the river Eufrates?
19 Thine own wickedness shall chastise thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee; know therefore and see how evil and bitter it is, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God and that my fear is lacking in thee, saith the Lord GOD of the hosts.

Jeremiah 2:17-19
New International Version
17 Have you not brought this on yourselves(A)
by forsaking(B) the Lord your God
when he led you in the way?
18 Now why go to Egypt(C)
to drink water from the Nile[a]?(D)
And why go to Assyria(E)
to drink water from the Euphrates?(F)
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(G) will rebuke(H) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(I) it is for you
when you forsake(J) the Lord your God
and have no awe(K) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
