Jeremiah

Jeremiah 2:36–37

³⁶How impulsive you are,

constantly changing your ways!

You will be disappointed by Egypt

just as you were by Assyria.

³⁷Moreover, you will leave that place

with your hands on your head,

for the LORD has rejected those you trust;

you will not prosper by their help.”
