Jeremiah 2:34-36

The Voice

³⁴     The stain of the blood of the poor and the innocent is on your clothes
    Even though you didn’t find them breaking into your houses.
        In spite of it all,
³⁵     Still you dare to say, “I am innocent;
        surely God could not be angry with me anymore.”
    Yet watch as I condemn you
        because you perjure yourself saying, “I have not sinned.”
³⁶     How do you keep changing directions,
        making a covenant with Me, then a treaty with them?
    You will soon be disappointed by the alliance with Egypt
        just as you were by the one with Assyria.
