17 ^hHave you not brought this upon yourself
by forsaking the Lord your God,
when ⁱhe led you in the way?
18 ^jAnd now what do you gain by going to Egypt
to drink the waters of ^kthe Nile?
^lOr what do you gain by going to Assyria
to drink the waters of ^mthe Euphrates? ^{▼▼Hebrew the River}
19 ^oYour evil will chastise you,
and ^pyour apostasy will reprove you.
Know and see that it is evil and ^qbitter
for ^ryou to forsake the Lord your God;
the fear of me is not in you,

declares the Lord God of hosts.
