“For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns— broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
Context
11Je, taifa limebadili miungu yake wakati wowote?
(Hata ingawa hao si miungu kamwe.)
Lakini watu wangu wamebadili Utukufu wao
kwa sanamu zisizofaa kitu. 12Shangaeni katika hili, ee mbingu,
nanyi tetemekeni kwa hofu kuu,”
asema Bwana. 13“Watu wangu wametenda dhambi mbili:
Wameniacha mimi,
niliye chemchemi ya maji yaliyo hai,
nao wamejichimbia visima vyao wenyewe,
visima vilivyobomoka, visivyoweza kuhifadhi maji. 14Je, Israeli ni mtumishi, yaani mtumwa kwa kuzaliwa?
Kwa nini basi amekuwa mateka? 15Simba wamenguruma;
wamemngurumia.
Wameifanya nchi yake kuwa ukiwa;
miji yake imeteketezwa, nayo imeachwa haina watu.
