Jeremiah18:17
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 .
The East-wind is (or was at least in those parts) the fiercest wind; as the East-wind scatters the Chaff, so saith God I will scatter them.
And when they shall be in great calamity and misery I will not hearken to them, I will not turn my face to them, or shew them my face, but I will turn my back upon them, I will not regard them crying, nor hear their Prayers.
