Jeremiah 2:12-13. Be astonished O, ye heavens at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. For my people have committed two evils they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
If a man should change for the better, his selfishness might be a little excuse for leaving his old love, but when he changes for the worse -leaves a fountain for a cistern - a flowing fountain for a broken cistern that holds nothing - why, there is madness in his sin. "Be astonished, O ye heavens and be horribly afraid."
