Jeremiah 18:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible

16 To make their land an (A)object of horror,
An object of perpetual (B)hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be [a]horrified
And (C)shake his head.
17 Like an (D)east wind I will (E)scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will [b]show them (F)My back and not My face
(G)In the day of their disaster.’”

18 Then they said, “Come and let us (H)devise plans against Jeremiah. Surely the (I)law is not going to perish from the priest, nor (J)counsel to the wise man, nor the divine (K)word to the prophet! Come on and let us (L)strike at him with our tongue, and let us (M)give no heed to any of his words.”
