Exegesis
The temporal marker beyom edam {בְּי֥וֹם אֵידָֽם | bə-yôm ʾê-ḏām} ‘in the day of their calamity’ situates the action at the moment of coming doom. The English syntax reproduces Hebrew idiomatic order while maintaining clarity and forceful imagery.
In context — Jeremiah 18:17
Like an east wind I will scatter them before the enemy; in the day of their calamity I will show them My back and not My face.
