Jeremiah 2:16
World English Bible (WEB)
The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.
In context
14 Is Israel a slave? Is he born into slavery? Why has he become a captive?
15 The young lions have roared at him and raised their voices. They have made his land waste. His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
16 The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.
17 “Haven’t you brought this on yourself, in that you have forsaken the LORD your God, when he led you by the way?
18 Now what do you gain by going to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? Or why do you go on the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
