Jeremiah 2:34-36

New International Reader's Version

³⁴ The blood of those you have killed is on your clothes.
    You have destroyed poor people who were not guilty.
    You did not catch them in the act of breaking in.
In spite of all this,
³⁵     you say, ‘I’m not guilty of doing anything wrong.
    The Lord isn’t angry with me.’
But I will judge you.
    That’s because you say, ‘I haven’t sinned.’
³⁶ Why do you keep on
    changing your ways so much?
Assyria did not help you.
    And Egypt will not help you either.
