Jeremiah 18:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ But my people have forgotten me,
    they burn incense to false gods;
they have stumbled^[a] in their ways,
    in the ancient roads,
and have gone into bypaths,
    not the highway,
¹⁶ making their land a horror,
    a thing to be hissed at for ever.
Every one who passes by it is horrified
    and shakes his head.
¹⁷ Like the east wind I will scatter them
    before the enemy.
I will show them my back, not my face,
    in the day of their calamity.”
