Jeremiah 18:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Yet my people have forgotten me;
    they have offered sacrifices to a lie.
And so they have stumbled along the way,
    even along the ancient paths.
They have taken side roads,
    not the main roads.^[a]
16 They have ruined their country
    and brought utter shame on it.
All who pass by are shocked
    and shake their heads.
¹⁷ Like a strong east wind,
    I will scatter them before their enemy.
When disaster strikes them,
    I will show them my back,
        not my face.
