Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?

The verse 17 is found in chapter 2 of Jeremiah. Israel, having become enslaved to its own decisions, seeks foreign help after abandoning God. Egypt and Assyria represent alliances incapable of providing lasting security. The prophet interprets the political crisis as a spiritual consequence: apostasy itself has become punishment because the people are experiencing the result of turning away from Yahweh.

Solches machst du dir selbst, weil du den HERRN, deinen Gott, verläßt, so oft er dich den rechten Weg leiten will.
¿No te acarreó esto tu dejar a Jehová tu Dios, cuando te hacía andar por camino?
¿No te ha sucedido esto por haber abandonado a Jehová tu Dios cuando él te guiaba por el camino?
Cela ne t'arrive-t-il pas Parce que tu as abandonné l'Eternel, ton Dieu, Lorsqu'il te dirigeait dans la bonne voie?
Non sei tu quella che fai questo a te stessa, abbandonando il Signore Iddio tuo, nel tempo ch’egli ti conduce per lo cammino?
Porventura não fizeste isto a ti mesmo, deixando o SENHOR teu Deus, no tempo em que ele te guiava pelo caminho?
這不是你自己招惹的嗎? 不是因耶和華-你上帝引導你行路時, 你離棄了他嗎?
