36 How you go about so much changing your way!
    Also by Egypt you will be put to shame,
    just as you were put to shame by Assyria.
37 Also from there you will come out
    with your hands on your head,
for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust,[a]
    and you will not prosper through them.

  1. Jeremiah 2:37 Literally “in your objects of trust”

36 Why do you go about so much,
    changing(A) your ways?

37 You will also leave that place
    with your hands on your head,(C)
for the Lord has rejected those you trust;
    you will not be helped(D) by them.
