Jeremiah 2:18-19, 36-37

Why, then, would you now go down to Egypt to drink the waters of the Nile? Why would you go to Assyria to drink from the river Euphrates? Your own wickedness punishes you. Your own unfaithfulness rebukes you. Look deep into your heart and you will learn how evil and bitter it is to forsake me, YAHWEH your God, and have no awe of me. I, YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, have spoken.”

Look how you cheapen yourself by constantly shifting your course. Egypt will put you to shame just as Assyria did. You will turn away from Egypt utterly humiliated, for I, YAHWEH, have completely rejected those you trust. No alliance will be able to help you!”
