Jeremiah18:17
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; Psa 48:7; Is 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" (Jr 2:27).
