The LORD’s word about the spring of living waters and the broken cisterns

생수의 근원과 터진 웅덩이를 두고 이르신 여호와의 말씀

Jeremiah 2:4–13: the text says, “Hear the LORD’s word, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel!” The LORD says, “What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after worthless vanity, and have become worthless? They didn’t say, ‘Where is the LORD who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that no one passed through, and where no man lived?’ I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination. The priests didn’t say, ‘Where is the LORD?’ and those who handle the law didn’t know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal and followed things that do not profit. “Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says the LORD, “and I will contend with your children’s children. For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see. Send to Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there has been such a thing. Has a nation changed its gods, which really are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which doesn’t profit. “Be astonished, you heavens, at this and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate,” says the LORD. “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.” WEB opens the LORD’s words at 2:5, opens them again at 2:9 and 2:12 without closing them first, and does not close at 2:13 the words it opens there. The Korean Revised Version gives 2:4 in the LORD’s first person (나 여호와의 말을 들으라), and reads at 2:11 그 신을 신 아닌 것과 바꾼 일이 있느냐 (has it exchanged its god for what is not god?).
