Jeremiah 18:17-19
Legacy Standard Bible
17 Like an (A)east wind I will (B)scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will [a]show them (C)My back and not My face
(D)In the day of their disaster.’”
18 Then they said, “Come and let us (E)devise plans against Jeremiah. Surely the (F)law is not going to perish from the priest, nor (G)counsel to the wise man, nor the divine (H)word to the prophet! Come on and let us (I)strike at him with our tongue, and let us (J)give no heed to any of his words.”
19 Do give heed to me, O Yahweh,
And listen to the voice of those who contend 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!
