15 But my people have forgotten me.
    They burn offerings to worthless idols.
They have left the right way that their ancestors followed,
    and they stumble on the path they have chosen.
Instead of staying on the good road I showed them,
    they prefer to walk on bumpy paths.
16 So their land will become an empty desert,
    a place for people from now on to make fun of.
All who pass by there will be shocked by what has happened.
    They will just shake their heads at what they see.
17 Like a strong east wind, I will scatter my people.
    I will use their enemies to scatter them like dust.
When disaster comes upon them,
    they will see me leaving, not coming to help.”

15 Yet my people have forgotten(A) me;
    they burn incense(B) to worthless idols,(C)
which made them stumble(D) in their ways,
    in the ancient paths.(E)
They made them walk in byways,
    on roads not built up.(F)
16 Their land will be an object of horror(G)
    and of lasting scorn;(H)
all who pass by will be appalled(I)
    and will shake their heads.(J)
17 Like a wind(K) from the east,
    I will scatter them before their enemies;
I will show them my back and not my face(L)
    in the day of their disaster.”
