Sin Brings Its Own Punishment

Jeremiah 2:14-19

Is Israel a servant? is he a home-born slave? why is he become a prey?

The young lions have roared upon him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.

The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of thy head.

Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, when he led thee by the way?

And now what hast thou to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? or what hast thou to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?

Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
