Jeremiah 18:16 in context
- 14Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? or shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
- 15For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up;
- 16to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall 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 said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
