And now what have you to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what have you to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 2:18 Go To Jeremiah 2
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
If we are not false servants of God, if there is in us a spark of that fire whereby “charity seeks not its own,” we certainly should make our good works appear, not only before God but even before people, for fear that, while drinking of quiet waters in our own conscience, we should be constrained by careless feet to drive the sheep of the Lord to drink the troubled waters.
