Jeremiah 2:15
The Consequence of Israel’s Sin
14Is Israel a slave? Was he born into slavery? Why then has he become prey? 15The young lions have roared at him; they have growled with a loud voice. They have laid waste his land; his cities lie in ruins, without inhabitant. 16The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved the crown of your head.
