2:13 “Do so because my people have committed a double wrong:
they have rejected me,
the fountain of life-giving water, 1
and they have dug cisterns for themselves,
cracked cisterns which cannot even hold water.”
2:17 You have brought all this on yourself, Israel, 2
by deserting the Lord your God when he was leading you along the right path. 3
2:18 What good will it do you 4 then 5 to go down to Egypt
to seek help from the Egyptians? 6
What good will it do you 7 to go over to Assyria
to seek help from the Assyrians? 8
