Jeremiah 18:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ They have made this land a thing of horror,
    to be despised forever.
All who pass by will be shocked at what they see;
    they will shake their heads in amazement.
¹⁷ I will scatter my people before their enemies,
    like dust blown by the east wind.
I will turn my back on them;
    I will not help them when the disaster comes.”
