Jeremiah 2:36 in context

  1. 34Also the blood of the souls of the innocent poor is found in your skirts.
    You didn’t find them breaking in,
    but it is because of all these things.
  2. 35“Yet you said, ‘I am innocent.
    Surely his anger has turned away from me.’
    “Behold, I will judge you,
    because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
  3. 36Why do you go about so much to change your ways?
    You will be ashamed of Egypt also,
    as you were ashamed of Assyria.
  4. 37You will also leave that place with your hands on your head;
    for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust,
    and you won’t prosper with them.
