The LORD’s word that asks, “Is Israel a slave?”, and speaks of Egypt and Assyria
"이스라엘이 종이냐" 하는 물음과 애굽 길과 앗수르 길을 두고 이르신 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 2:14–19: “Is Israel a slave? Is he born into slavery? Why has he become a captive? The young lions have roared at him and raised their voices. They have made his land waste. His cities are burned up, without inhabitant. The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head. “Haven’t you brought this on yourself, in that you have forsaken the LORD your God, when he led you by the way? Now what do you gain by going to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? Or why do you go on the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River? “Your own wickedness will correct you, and your backsliding will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing, that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and that my fear is not in you,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies. WEB gives 2:14–16 no quotation marks, opens the words at 2:17, opens them again at 2:19 without closing them first, and closes them at 2:19. The Korean Revised Version gives 2:15 in the second person (너를 향하여 … 네 땅을 … 네 성읍들은), reads 놉 where WEB reads “Memphis” at 2:16, and reads at 2:17 네가 나를 떠남으로, with the LORD in the first person, where WEB reads “you have forsaken the LORD your God”.
