Jeremiah 2:16
Berean Standard Bible
The men of Memphis * and Tahpanhes have shaved the crown of your head.
Context
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. 17Have you not brought this on yourself
by forsaking the LORD your God
when He led you in the way? 18Now what will you gain on your way to Egypt
to drink the waters of the Nile *?
What will you gain on your way to Assyria
to drink the waters of the Euphrates *?
