Jeremiah 2:35-37

The Voice

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.
³⁷     You will leave this land as captives, with your hands on your head.
        Why? Because I, the Eternal One, have rejected those you relied on.
    You will never prosper from their help.
