Jeremiah 18:17-19
Amplified Bible
17
‘I will scatter them like an east wind
Before the enemy;
I will show them My back and not My face
In the day of their disaster [says the Lord].’”
18 Then [my enemies] said, “Come and let us work out schemes against Jeremiah. Surely the law is not going to be lost to the priest [as Jeremiah predicts], nor the counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with our tongue [by making charges against him before the king], and let us ignore anything he says.”
19
Pay attention to me, O Lord [and intercede];
Listen to what my adversaries are saying [and are plotting against me]—
Jeremiah 18:17-19
New International Version
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!
