Parallel
Jeremiah 2:18
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
And now what hast thou to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? Or what hast thou to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
Now what will you gain on your way to Egypt to drink the waters of the Nile (note: Hebrew of Shihor, a branch of the Nile River)? What will you gain on your way to Assyria to drink the waters of the Euphrates (note: Hebrew the River)?
