Jeremiah 2:34-36
Living Bible
34 Your clothing is stained with the blood of the innocent and the poor. Brazenly you murder without a cause. 35 And yet you say, “I haven’t done a thing to anger God. I’m sure he isn’t angry!”[a] I will punish you severely because you say, “I haven’t sinned!”
36 First here, then there, you flit about, going from one ally to another for their help; but it’s all no good—your new friends in Egypt will forsake you as Assyria did before.

Jeremiah 2:34-36
New International Version
34 On your clothes is found
the lifeblood(A) of the innocent poor,
though you did not catch them breaking in.(B)
Yet in spite of all this
35 you say, ‘I am innocent;(C)
he is not angry with me.’
But I will pass judgment(D) on you
because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’(E)
36 Why do you go about so much,
changing(F) your ways?
You will be disappointed by Egypt(G)
as you were by Assyria.
