Jeremiah / Question
Question source
Jeremiah
God says his people committed two evils: they forsook him, "the fountain of living waters," and they dug "broken cisterns" that cannot hold water (Jeremiah 2:13). The verse contrasts a reliable source with an empty substitute.
13For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
