Jeremiah44:11
11 ¶ Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts the God of Israel , Behold I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah .
These names are frequently given to God, in threatning prophesies, partly to let this people know that God is able to make good his word, and to bring the threatned Evils upon them: and partly to let them know that the dealing thus with them would not make him quit his relation to Israel, but he was and still would approve himself the God of those who were his true Israel.
The meaning is my full design against you is to bring Evil upon you, this is expressed under the notion of setting his face, and Amos 9.4. setting his eyes against them.
