Jeremiah 2:18
Douay-Rheims
And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the troubled water? And what hast thou to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of the river?
Athanasius of Alexandria
For the fool does not know that those who depart far from God shall perish. And besides, there is the restraint of the prophetic admonition that says, 'What have you to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Gihon? And what have you to do in the way of Ashur, to drink the waters of the rivers?"
