Jeremiah 2:36-37
Christian Standard Bible
36 How unstable you are,(A)
constantly changing your ways!
You will be put to shame by Egypt(B)
just as you were put to shame by Assyria.
37 Moreover, you will be led out from here
with your hands on your head(C)
since the Lord has rejected those you trust;(D)
you will not succeed even with their help.[a]

Jeremiah 2:36-37
New Living Translation
36 First here, then there—
you flit from one ally to another asking for help.
But your new friends in Egypt will let you down,
just as Assyria did before.
37 In despair, you will be led into exile
with your hands on your heads,
for the Lord has rejected the nations you trust.
They will not help you at all.
