Jeremiah 2:36-37
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
36 Why do you go about so much
to change your way?
You shall be put to shame by Egypt
as you were put to shame by Assyria.(A)
37 From there also you will come away
with your hands on your head,
for the Lord has rejected those in whom you trust,
and you will not prosper through them.(B)
Jeremiah 2:36-37
International Standard Version
36 Why do you go about changing your mind so much?
You will also be disappointed[a] by Egypt,
just as you were disappointed[b] by Assyria.
37 You will also go out from this place
with your hands over your heads.[c]
For the Lord has rejected those in whom you trust,
and you won’t prosper through them.”
