Jeremiah 18:17
Berean Standard Bible
I will scatter them before the enemy like the east wind. I will show them My back and not My face in the day of their calamity.”
Context
15Yet My people have forgotten Me.
They burn incense to worthless idols
that make them stumble in their ways,
leaving the ancient roads
to walk on rutted bypaths
instead of on the highway. 16They have made their land a desolation,
a perpetual object of scorn;
all who pass by will be appalled
and shake their heads. 17I will scatter them before the enemy
like the east wind.
I will show them My back and not My face
in the day of their calamity.” 18Then some said, “Come, let us make plans against Jeremiah, for the law will never be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the wise, nor an oracle to the prophet. Come, let us denounce him and pay no heed to any of his words.” 19Attend to me, O LORD.
Hear what my accusers are saying!
