Jeremiah 18:17

Deluded Israel

¹⁶ To make their land a desolation,
An object of perpetual hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And shake his head.
¹⁷ ‘Like an east wind I will scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will show them My back and not My face
In the day of their calamity.’” ¹⁸ Then they said, “Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah. Surely the law is not going to be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the sage, nor the divine word to the prophet! Come on and let us strike at him with our tongue, and let us give no heed to any of his words.”

East Wind

My People

Jeremiah 2:27

Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’

‘Arise and save us.’
