Jeremiah 18:17-19
New Century Version
17 Like a strong east wind,
I will scatter them before their enemies.
At that awful time they will not see me coming to help them;
they will see me leaving.”
Jeremiah’s Fourth Complaint
18 Then the people said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah. Surely the teaching of the law by the priest will not be lost. We will still have the advice from the wise teachers and the words of the prophets. So let’s ruin him by telling lies about him. We won’t pay attention to anything he says.”
19 Lord, listen to me.
Listen to what my accusers are saying!
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!
