14Is Israel a servant, or a homeborn servant? Why then has he become plunder?

15Young lions roar against him; they raise their voice. They make his land a desolation; his cities are burned, without inhabitant.

16Even the sons of Noph and Tahpanhes have grazed your crown.

17Has not this brought it upon you, because you have forsaken Yahweh your God when he was leading you in the way?

18And now, what have you to do with the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? And what have you to do with the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?

19Your evil will discipline you, and your apostasies will reprove you. So know and see that it is evil and bitter for you to forsake Yahweh your God, and that my fear is not in you, declares the Lord GOD of hosts.
