Jeremiah 2:16 Context
14¶ Is Israel a seruant? is he a home-borne slaue? why is he spoiled? 15The young lyons roared vpon him and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burnt without inhabitant. 16Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes haue broken the crowne of thy head. 17Hast thou not procured this vnto thy selfe, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way? 18And now what hast thou to doe in the way of Egypt, to drinke the waters of Sihor? Or what hast thou to doe in the way of Assyria, to drinke the waters of the riuer?

Wesley's Notes for Jeremiah 2:16
2:16 Noph, &c. - Two of the kings of Egypt's principal seats. Noph was sometimes called Memphis, now Cairo. Tahapanes probably took its name from Taphanes queen of Egypt, #1Kings 11:19|, called also Hanes: #Isa 30:4|. The inhabitants of these cities are called here their children.
