jeremiah 18:17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

jeremiah 18:17 'Like an east wind I will scatter them Before the enemy; I will show them My back and not [My] face In the day of their calamity.'"

17. as with an east wind--literally, "I will scatter them, as an east wind (scatters all before it)": a most violent wind (Job 27:21; Ps 48:7; Isa 27:8). Thirty-two manuscripts read (without as), "with an east wind."
I will show them the back . . . not . . . face--just retribution: as "they turned their back unto Me . . . not their face" (Jer 2:27).

jeremiah 18:17 'Like an east wind I will scatter them Before the enemy; I will show them My back and not [My] face In the day of their calamity.'"
