Jeremiah 18:13-15

New International Reader's Version

“Ask the nations a question. Say to them,
    ‘Who has ever heard anything like this?
The people of Israel have done
    a very horrible thing.
¹⁴ Does the snow ever disappear
    from Lebanon’s rocky slopes?
Do its cool waters ever stop
    flowing from places far away?
¹⁵ But my people have forgotten me.
    They burn incense to worthless gods.
Their gods made them trip and fall
    as they walked on the old paths.
They made them use side roads
    instead of roads that were built up.
