Jeremiah 2:34-36

Modern English Version

³⁴ Also in your skirts is found
    the blood of the souls of the innocent poor.
    I have not found it by breaking in,
but in spite of all these things.
³⁵     Yet you say, “Because I am innocent,
    surely His anger shall turn away from me.”
Now I will plead with you,
    because you say, “I have not sinned.”
³⁶ Why do you go about so much
    to change your way?
You also shall be ashamed of Egypt,
    as you were ashamed of Assyria.
