Good News Bible

Jeremiah 2:33-37 Good News Bible (GNB)

33. You certainly know how to chase after lovers. Even the worst of women can learn from you.

34. Your clothes are stained with the blood of the poor and innocent, not with the blood of burglars.“But in spite of all this,

35. you say, ‘I am innocent; surely the Lord is no longer angry with me.’ But I, the Lord, will punish you because you deny that you have sinned.

36. You have cheapened yourself by turning to the gods of other nations. You will be disappointed by Egypt, just as you were by Assyria.

37. You will turn away from Egypt, hanging your head in shame. I, the Lord, have rejected those you trust; you will not gain anything from them.”
