Jeremiah 2:34-36

Living Bible

³⁴ Your clothing is stained with the blood of the innocent and the poor. Brazenly you murder without a cause. ³⁵ And yet you say, “I haven’t done a thing to anger God. I’m sure he isn’t angry!”^[a] I will punish you severely because you say, “I haven’t sinned!”

³⁶ First here, then there, you flit about, going from one ally to another for their help; but it’s all no good—your new friends in Egypt will forsake you as Assyria did before.
