NASB
"'Like an east wind I will scatter them Before the enemy; I will show them My back and not My face In the day of their calamity.'""
— Jeremiah 18:17, NASB
“I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.”
“I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. ”
“I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.”
“I will scatter them before their enemies like dust blowing in front of a burning east wind. I will turn my back on them and not look favorably on them when disaster strikes them.””
“As a burning wind will I scatter them before the enemy: I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their destruction.”
“I will send them in flight, as from an east wind, before the attacker; I will let them see my back and not my face on the day of their downfall.”
“I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.”
'Does the snow of Lebanon forsake the rock of the open country? Or is the cold flowing water from a foreign land ever snatched away?
'For My people have forgotten Me, They burn incense to worthless gods And they have stumbled from their ways, From the ancient paths, To walk in bypaths, Not on a highway,
To make their land a desolation, An object of perpetual hissing; Everyone who passes by it will be astonished And shake his head.
'Like an east wind I will scatter them Before the enemy; I will show them My back and not My face In the day of their calamity.'"
Then they said, "Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah. Surely the law is not going to be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the sage, nor the divine word to the prophet! Come on and let us strike at him with our tongue, and let us give no heed to any of his words."
Do give heed to me, O LORD, And listen to what my opponents are saying!
Should good be repaid with evil? For they have dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before You To speak good on their behalf, So as to turn away Your wrath from them.
