Jeremiah 2:34-36

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁴ You have been cruel to poor people for no reason.
    Your clothes have their blood on them!
They had not robbed you,
    but you still killed them.
You have done all these bad things, but still you say,
³⁵     “We have not done anything that is wrong.
    God cannot be angry with us!”
Be careful! I will surely punish you,
    because you say, “I am not guilty of any sin.”
³⁶ You try to get help from other nations.
    You run here and there to make new friends.
You hoped for help from Assyria,
    but no help came.
And you will get no help from Egypt either.
