Jeremiah 2:37
Verse 37 of 37. The 2nd of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.
33Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
34Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
35Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
36Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
37Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the Lord hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
Jeremiah 2:37 in the World English Bible
You will also leave that place with your hands on your head; for the LORD has rejected those in whom you trust, and you won’t prosper with them.Read Jeremiah 2:37 in the WEB
Matthew Henry on Jeremiah 2:37
See what will come of it (v. 37): Thou shalt go forth from him, thy ambassadors or envoys shall return from Egypt re infectâ—disappointed, and therefore with their hands upon their heads, lamenting the desperate condition of their people.
