TRUST Jeremiah 2:36-37

Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria. You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them. 

Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? 
Jeremiah 31:22  "How long will you wander, unfaithful Daughter Israel? The LORD will create a new thing on earth--the woman will return to the man."

You will be disappointed by Egypt 
Psalm 108:12  Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.
Isaiah 30:1-3,7  "Woe to the obstinate children," declares the LORD, "to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin; who go down to Egypt without consulting me; who look for help to Pharaoh's protection, to Egypt's shade for refuge. But Pharaohs protection will be to your shame, Egypt's shade will bring you disgrace. ... to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless. Therefore I call her Rahab the Do-Nothing."
Jeremiah 37:7-8  "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of me, 'Pharaoh's army, which has marched out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt. Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture it and burn it down.' "

You will also leave that place with your hands on your head 
2 Samuel 13:19  Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the ornate robe she was wearing. She put her hands on her head and went away, weeping aloud as she went.

for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them 
Lamentations 1:7  In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands, there was no one to help her. Her enemies looked at her and laughed at her destruction.
Lamentations 4:17  Moreover, our eyes failed, looking in vain for help; from our towers we watched for a nation that could not save us.
