Jeremiah 18:16-18

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁶ To make their land become a desolation, A hissing age-during, Every passer by it is astonished, And bemoaneth with his head.

¹⁷ As an east wind I scatter them before an enemy, The neck, and not the face, I shew them, In the day of their calamity.'

¹⁸ And they say, Come, And we devise against Jeremiah devices, For law doth not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we smite him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.
