Jeremiah 2:37
Jeremiah 2:37 in Multiple Translations
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.”
Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
From thence also shalt thou go forth, with thy hands upon thy head: for Jehovah hath rejected those in whom thou trustest, and thou shalt not prosper with them.
Truly, you will go out from him with your hands on your head: for the Lord has given up those in whom you have put your faith, and they will be of no help to you.
In fact you will go into exile with your hands on your head as prisoners, because the Lord will have nothing to do with those you trust; they will be no help to you.
For thou shalt goe foorth from thence, and thine hands vpon thine head, because the Lord hath reiected thy confidence, and thou shalt not prosper thereby.
Also from this thou goest out, And thy hands on thy head, For Jehovah hath kicked at thy confidences, And thou dost not give prosperity to them!
You will also leave that place with your hands on your head; for the LORD has rejected those in whom you trust, and you won’t prosper with them.
Yes, thou shalt go forth from him, and thy hands upon thy head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
For from thence thou shalt go, and thy hand shall be upon thy head: for the Lord hath destroyed thy trust, and thou shalt have nothing prosperous therein.
They will capture you, and you will be their prisoners [MTY], led to Egypt, very ashamed with your hands on your heads. That will happen because I, Yahweh, have rejected those nations that you are relying on, and they will not be able to help you at all.”

35you say, ‘I am innocent. Surely His anger will turn from me.’ Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36How impulsive you are, constantly changing your ways! You will be disappointed by Egypt just as you were by Assyria.
37Moreover, 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.”

Then the Chaldeans will return and fight against this city. They will capture it and burn it down. This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, ‘The Chaldeans will go away for good,’ for they will not! Indeed, if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans that is fighting against you, and only wounded men remained in their tents, they would still get up and burn this city down.” |

Pharaoh with his mighty army and vast horde will not help him in battle, when ramps are built and siege walls constructed to destroy many lives. He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Seeing that he gave his hand in pledge yet did all these things, he will not escape!’ Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, I will bring down upon his head My oath that he despised and My covenant that he broke.

Jeremiah 2:37 Summary
This verse is saying that when we trust in people or things that are not the Lord, we will end up feeling ashamed and defeated. The Lord wants us to trust in Him alone, because He is the only one who can truly help us (Psalm 37:3-7). When we put our trust in other things, like foreign allies or our own strength, we will be disappointed and will not prosper. Instead, we should put our trust in the Lord and follow His ways, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to leave a place with your hands on your head?
This is a gesture of shame, defeat, and mourning, indicating that the people will be utterly humiliated and disappointed as they depart, much like the Israelites when they were carried away into exile (Deuteronomy 28:43, Lamentations 2:10).
Who are the ones the Lord has rejected in Jeremiah 2:37?
The ones the Lord has rejected are the foreign allies that Judah has trusted in for help, such as Egypt and Assyria, rather than trusting in the Lord Himself (Jeremiah 2:36, Isaiah 31:1).
What does it mean to not prosper by their help?
This means that despite Judah's efforts to form alliances with these foreign nations, they will ultimately fail to achieve their desired outcomes and will instead suffer defeat and shame, because the Lord is not with them (Psalm 60:11, Isaiah 30:1-5).
Is this verse only applicable to the nation of Judah?
While the immediate context is addressed to Judah, the principle that the Lord rejects those who trust in anyone or anything other than Him is applicable to all people, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Romans 11:20-21.
Reflection Questions
- How have I trusted in things or people other than the Lord for my security and happiness?
- What are some areas in my life where I am trying to prosper or succeed without fully trusting in the Lord?
- In what ways can I apply the lesson of Jeremiah 2:37 to my own life, recognizing the futility of trusting in anything or anyone other than God?
- What does it mean for me to 'leave a place with my hands on my head' in a spiritual sense, and how can I avoid this outcome by trusting in the Lord?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 2:37
Yea, thou shalt go forth from him,.... From the Egyptian, without any help, and with shame; or, "from this" (u); that is, from this place, from Jerusalem, and from the land of Judea, into captivity;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 2:37
Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them. Him - Egypt. Hands upon thine head - expressive of mourning (2 Samuel 13:19).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 2:37
Thou shalt go forth from him: some apply it to the sad and ineffectual return of the ambassadors, being disappointed in their expectation from the king of Egypt; but rather, All the help thou canst procure from abroad shall not prevent thy captivity, but from hence thou shalt go. Thine hands upon thine head; a usual posture of sadness and mourning, , suited here to her going into captivity. Rejected thy confidences; refused to give success unto them, . Or, rejected thee for thy confidences; or, he disapproves thy confidences, viz. all thy refuges which thou seekest out of God. Thou shalt not prosper in them, viz. in thy refuges and dependencies.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 2:37
Jeremiah 2:37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.Ver. 37. Yea, thou shalt go from him.] Or, From hence, into captivity. With thine hands.] Lamenting, as did Tamar. For the Lord hath rejected thy confidence.] Where the beginning is carnal confidence, the end is shame, of any business, even of this life.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 2:37
(37) From him.—Better, from it, sc., from Egypt as a people. Thine hands upon thine head.—The outward sign of depression and despair (2 Samuel 13:19). Thy confidences.—i.e., the grounds or objects of thy confidence.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 2:37
Verse 37. Thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head] Thou shalt find all thy confidence in vain, - thy hope disappointed; - and thy state reduced to desperation. The hand being placed on the head was the evidence of deep sorrow, occasioned by utter desolation. See the case of Tamar, when ruined and abandoned by her brother Amnon, 2 Samuel 13:19. Thou shalt not prosper in them.] They shall all turn to thy disadvantage; and this as we shall see in the history of this people, was literally fulfilled. O what a grievous and bitter thing it is to sin against the Lord, and have him for an enemy!
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 2:37
37. From him also shalt thou go forth] The king of Egypt shall repulse thy advances, and thou shalt return mourning. thine hands upon thine head] in disgrace and disappointment; cp. 2 Samuel 13:19. thy confidences] those in whom thou confidest, Egypt and Assyria.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 2:37
From him - From it, from this Egypt, which though fem. as a land, yet as a people may be used as a masc. (compare Jeremiah 46:8).
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 2:37
37. From him — Namely, Egypt. As thou didst turn to Egypt from Assyria, so shalt thou turn from him, clasping thy head with thy hands in grief and dismay.
