Jeremiah 2:18 - The Message

"And now, what do you think you’ll get by going off to Egypt?
   Maybe a cool drink of Nile River water?
Or what do you think you’ll get by going off to Assyria?
   Maybe a long drink of Euphrates River water?
Your evil ways will get you a sound thrashing, that’s what you’ll get.
   You’ll pay dearly for your disloyal ways.
Take a long, hard look at what you’ve done and its bitter results.
   Was it worth it to have walked out on your God?"
         God’s Decree, Master God-of-the-Angel-Armies.
