Jeremiah 18:16 in the King James Version
To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
Context
15 For my people have forgotten me. They have burned incense to false gods. They have been made to stumble in their ways in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up,
16 to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and shake his head.
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
