I will turn my back on them and not look favorably on them ¹ 

when disaster strikes them.”

Jeremiah 50:30

50:30 So her young men will fall in her city squares.

All her soldiers will be destroyed at that time,”

says the Lord. ² 

[18:17]  ¹ tc Heb “I will show them [my] back and not [my] face.” This reading follows the suggestion of some of the versions and some of the Masoretes. The MT reads “I will look on their back and not on their faces.”

[50:30]  ² tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
