Jeremiah 2:19
Berean Standard Bible
Your own evil will discipline you; your own apostasies will reprimand you. Consider and realize how evil and bitter it is for you to forsake the LORD your God and to have no fear of Me,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.
Context
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 *? 19Your own evil will discipline you;
your own apostasies will reprimand you.
Consider and realize
how evil and bitter it is
for you to forsake the LORD your God
and to have no fear of Me,”
declares the Lord GOD of Hosts. 20“For long ago you broke your yoke
and tore off your chains,
saying, ‘I will not serve!’
Indeed, on every high hill
and under every green tree
you lay down as a prostitute. 21I had planted you like a choice vine
from the very best seed.
How could you turn yourself before Me
into a rotten, wild vine?
