Jeremiah 18:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ But my people have forgotten me.
    They make smoke offerings to the idols,^[a]
and they caused them to stumble in their ways, the ancient ways,
    to go into bypaths,^[b] not one that is built up.
¹⁶ To make their land a horror,
    an object of whistling for eternity.
All who pass by it will be appalled,
    and he will shake his head.
¹⁷ Like the wind from the east
    I will scatter them before^[c] the enemy.
I will show them my back and not my face
    in the day of their disaster.’”
