Yeremia 2:37

2:37 Moreover, you will come away from Egypt

with your hands covering your faces in sorrow and shame ¹ 

because the Lord will not allow your reliance on them to be successful

and you will not gain any help from them. ² 

Yeremia 6:10

“Who would listen

if I spoke to them and warned them? ⁴

They do not like it at all. ⁷
