16To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.Select Jeremiah 18:16

17I 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.Select Jeremiah 18:17
