Jeremiah 18:17-19
Revised Standard Version
17 Like the east wind I will scatter them
before the enemy.
I will show them my back, not my face,
in the day of their calamity.”
A Plot against Jeremiah
18 Then they said, “Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah, for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not heed any of his words.”
19 Give heed to me, O Lord,
and hearken to my plea.[a]

17 Like a wind(A) from the east,
I will scatter them before their enemies;
I will show them my back and not my face(B)
in the day of their disaster.”
18 They said, “Come, let’s make plans(C) against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest(D) will not cease, nor will counsel from the wise,(E) nor the word from the prophets.(F) So come, let’s attack him with our tongues(G) and pay no attention to anything he says.”
19 Listen to me, Lord;
hear what my accusers(H) are saying!
