Jeremiah 18:17

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; Psalms 48:7; Isaiah 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" (Jeremiah 2:27).
