Yisrael’s punishment for abandonment

Yir 2:14–19

2:14 Yisrael’s punishment for abandonment

Both kingdoms

14 Is Yisrael (Israel) a slave? Was it born into slavery?

Why has it been carried off as plunder?

15 Young lions roared at it—

≈ they’ve made their voice heard.

They’ve made the land into wasteland—

≈ its cities have become ruins without any inhabitants.

16 Also the people from Nof (Memphis) and Tahfanhes have shaved your heads.

17 Didn’t you bring this on yourself by abandoning your god, Yahweh

at the time when he was leading you along the right path.

18 So now, what’s the point of travelling to Mitsrayim (Egypt) to drink from Shihor’s waters?

≈ And why bother taking a trip to Ashur (Assyria) to drink the river water?

19 Your own wickedness will punish you

≈ and your turning away will rebuke you.

So see and know that it’s evil and bitter to abandon your god Yahweh,

and you no longer have respect for me.

That’s Commander-in-chief Yahweh’s declaration.
