    Insight 777 on Jeremiah 2 - 9 years ago
    Verse 18, Sihor is the name given for the river Nile. Perhaps this verse is asking Israel why they drink waters from nations that are not theirs. This can have both a spiritual and a physical meaning both being symbolic in presentation. Jesus is the living water which Israel rejects and does not drink. That is spiritual. When one drinks water physically, the water is consumed and taken into ones body. I think this verse is speaking of expansion into areas that do not belong to Israel to bring those areas into the nation of Israel. Israel attempts expansion on the basis of self protection while rejecting the fact that it is GOD that is Israel 's protection. The very act of expanding their borders puts Israel in peril. They are not putting their faith in GOD to protect them but in their own military positioning security instead.
