Jeremiah 18:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Yet my people have forgotten me;
    they burn incense to worthless idols,
causing them to stumble
    as they forsake ancient roads
    to travel along unfamiliar paths.
¹⁶ Their land will be laid waste,
    an object of unending scorn.
Those who pass by will be appalled on beholding it
    and shake their heads.
¹⁷ Like the east wind,
    I will scatter them before their enemies.
On the day of their downfall
    I will show them my back, not my face.
