Jeremiah 2:35-37

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
³⁷ You will come away from Egypt with your hands on your heads.
    You will be ashamed and upset.
The Lord has turned away from those nations.
    You have trusted them to help you,
    But you will not receive any help from them.’
