Jeremiah 18:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 For (A)My people have forgotten Me;
(B)They burn incense [a]to worthless gods,
And they [b]have stumbled [c]from their ways,
[d]From the (C)ancient paths,
To walk in bypaths,
Not on a (D)highway,
16 To make their land an (E)object of horror,
An object of perpetual (F)hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be [e]horrified
And (G)shake his head.
17 Like an (H)east wind I will (I)scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will [f]show them (J)My back and not My face
(K)In the day of their disaster.’”

New International Version
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.”
