Jeremiah 18:16-18
New International Version
Jeremiah 18:16-18
New International Version
16 Their land will be an object of horror(A)
and of lasting scorn;(B)
all who pass by will be appalled(C)
and will shake their heads.(D)
17 Like a wind(E) from the east,
I will scatter them before their enemies;
I will show them my back and not my face(F)
in the day of their disaster.”
18 They said, “Come, let’s make plans(G) against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest(H) will not cease, nor will counsel from the wise,(I) nor the word from the prophets.(J) So come, let’s attack him with our tongues(K) and pay no attention to anything he says.”
Jeremiah 18:16-18
King James Version
Jeremiah 18:16-18
King James Version
16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
18 Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
