Jeremiah 18:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ But my people have forgotten me;
    they burn offerings to a delusion;
they have stumbled^[a] in their ways,
    in the ancient roads,
and have gone into bypaths,
    not the highway,^(A)
16 making their land a horror,
    a thing to be hissed at forever.
All who pass by it are horrified
    and shake their heads.^(B)
17 Like the wind from the east,
    I will scatter them before the enemy.
I will show them my back, not my face,
    in the day of their calamity.^(C)
