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.”

²⁴ “I will scatter you like chaff^(A)
    driven by the desert wind.^(B)

²⁷ They say to wood,^(A) ‘You are my father,’
    and to stone,^(B) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs^(C) to me
    and not their faces;^(D)
yet when they are in trouble,^(E) they say,
    ‘Come and save^(F) us!’

¹⁵     even though he thrives^(A) among his brothers.
An east wind^(B) from the Lord will come,
    blowing in from the desert;
his spring will fail
    and his well dry up.^(C)
His storehouse will be plundered^(D)
    of all its treasures.
