Jeremiah 18:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ Yet my people have forgotten me,
    and they burn incense to worthless idols
that make them stumble in their journey
    on the ancient paths.
They walk on trails,
    on a way that is not built up.
¹⁶ They make their land into a desolate place,
    an object of lasting scorn.^[a]
All who pass by will be appalled
    and will shake their heads.^[b]
17 ‘Like the east wind, I’ll scatter them
    before the enemy.
I’ll show them my back and not my face,
    on the day of their downfall.’”
