In context

¹⁴Is Israel a slave? Was he born into slavery? Why then has he become prey?

¹⁵The young lions have roared at him; they have sounded their voices. They have laid waste his land; his cities lie in ruins, without inhabitant.

¹⁶The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved the crown of your head.

¹⁷Have you not brought this on yourself by forsaking the LORD your God when He led you in the way?

¹⁸Now what will you gain on your way to Egypt to drink the waters of the Nile? What will you gain on your way to Assyria to drink the waters of the Euphrates?
