I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

This verse in other languages

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૧૮:૧૭
પૂર્વના પવનની જેમ વિખેરાઇ જતા હોય તેમ હું તેઓને શત્રુઓની આગળ વિખેરી નાખીશ.”
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह १८:१७
मैं उनको पुरवाई से उड़ाकर शत्रु के सामने से तितर-बितर कर दूँगा। उनकी विपत्ति के दिन मैं उनको मुँह नहीं परन्तु पीठ दिखाऊँगा ।”

In context

15For my people have forgotten me. They have burned incense to false gods. They have been made to stumble in their ways in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up,

16to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and shake his head.

17I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

18Then they said, “Come! Let’s devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law won’t perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let’s strike him with the tongue, and let’s not give heed to any of his words.”

19Give heed to me, LORD, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me.
