NETBible

I will scatter them before their enemies like dust blowing in front of a burning east wind. I will turn my back on them and not look favorably on them¹ when disaster strikes them.”

NET Notes

¹tc 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.”

¹sn To “turn the back” is universally recognized as a symbol of rejection. The turning of the face toward one is the subject of the beautiful Aaronic blessing in Num 6:24-26.
