Jeremiah 2:35-37

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁵ you say, ‘I am innocent;
    surely his anger has turned from me.’
Behold, I will bring you to judgment
    for saying, ‘I have not sinned.’
³⁶ How lightly you gad about,
    changing your way!
You shall be put to shame by Egypt
    as you were put to shame by Assyria.
³⁷ From it too you will come away
    with your hands upon your head,
for the Lord has rejected those in whom you trust,
    and you will not prosper by them.
