15 For (A)My people have forgotten Me;
(B)They burn incense [a]to worthless gods,
And they [b]have stumbled [c]from their ways,
[d]From the (C)ancient paths,
To walk in bypaths,
Not on a (D)highway,
16 To make their land an (E)object of horror,
An object of perpetual (F)hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be [e]horrified
And (G)shake his head.
17 Like an (H)east wind I will (I)scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will [f]show them (J)My back and not My face
(K)In the day of their disaster.’”
