15 For my people have forgotten me.
    They have burned incense to false gods.
They have been made to stumble in their ways,
    in the ancient paths,
    to walk in byways, in a way not built up,
16 to make their land an astonishment,
    and a perpetual hissing.
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished,
    and shake his head.
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy.
    I will show them the back, and not the face,
    in the day of their calamity.

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.”
