Jeremiah 2:36 in context

The verses around it, from Jeremiah 2.

32 Does a maiden forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding sash? Yet My people have forgotten Me for days without number.

33 How skillfully you pursue love! Even the most immoral of women could learn from your ways.

34 Moreover, your skirts are stained with the blood of the innocent poor, though you did not find them breaking in. But in spite of all these things

35 you say, ‘I am innocent. Surely His anger will turn from me.’ Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

36 How unstable you are, constantly changing your ways! You will be disappointed by Egypt just as you were by Assyria.

37 Moreover, you will leave that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not prosper by their help.”
