I will scatter them before their enemies;

I will show them my back and not my face

in the day of their disaster.”

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.

17 I will scatter my people before their enemies

as the east wind scatters dust.

And in all their trouble I will turn my back on them

and refuse to notice their distress.”

I will show them the back and not the face

In the day of their calamity.”

17 Like a strong east wind,

I will scatter them before their enemies.

they will see me leaving.”

17 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.

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

On the day of their disaster, 

I will show them my back, not my face.”

I will scatter them before the enemy.

I will show them my back, not my face,

in the day of their calamity.

17 Like the wind from the east

I will scatter them before the enemy.

I will show them my back and not my face

in the day of their disaster.’ ”

17 I will sweep over my people like a wind from the east.

I will use the Babylonians to scatter them.

I will show them my back and not my face.

I will desert them when their day of trouble comes.’ ”

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.’ ”
