Jeremiah 2:36

Compare all

34 Also on your skirts is found
^aThe blood of the lives of the poor innocents.
I have not found it by¹ secret search,
But plainly on all these things.

35 ^aYet you say, ‘Because I am innocent,
Surely His anger shall turn from me.’
Behold, ^bI will plead My case against you,
^cBecause you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

36 ^aWhy do you gad about so much to change your way?
Also ^byou shall be ashamed of Egypt ^cas you were ashamed of Assyria.

37 Indeed you will go forth from him
With your hands on ^ayour head;
For the Lord has rejected your trusted allies,
And you will ^bnot prosper by them.

Jeremiah 2:36

Why gaddest thou about - When they had departed from the Lord, they sought foreign alliances for support.

1.The Assyrians II Chronicles 28:13-21; but they injured instead of helping them.

2.The Egyptians: but in this they were utterly disappointed, and were ashamed of their confidence.

See Jeremiah 37:7-8 (note), for the fulfillment of this prediction.
