Jeremiah 2:35-37
Living Bible
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. 37 You will be left in despair and cover your face with your hands, for the Lord has rejected the ones that you trust. You will not succeed despite their aid.

Jeremiah 2:35-37
New International Version
35 you say, ‘I am innocent;(A)
he is not angry with me.’
But I will pass judgment(B) on you
because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’(C)
36 Why do you go about so much,
changing(D) your ways?
You will be disappointed by Egypt(E)
as you were by Assyria.
37 You will also leave that place
with your hands on your head,(F)
for the Lord has rejected those you trust;
you will not be helped(G) by them.
