18:16-17 The Lord pronounced sentence on Judah and Jerusalem. • their land will become desolate . . . I will scatter my people: In 605–586 BC, Judah and Jerusalem were progressively emptied of residents. • as the east wind scatters dust: During the summer, a strong hot wind from the east can blow sand and dust from the desert into Judah. • I will turn my back on them: The people would no longer experience a covenant relationship with the Lord.
