Jeremiah 2:18

And now what do you gain by going to Egypt to drink the waters of the Nile ? Or what do you gain by going to Assyria to drink the waters of the Euphrates ?

Now why go to Egypt to drink water from the Nile? And why go to Assyria to drink water from the Euphrates?

And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
