Jeremiah 18:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ Those things never change,
    but my people have forgotten me.
They offer sacrifices to useless idols.
Because of that, they live in a wrong way.
    They have left the good paths that their ancestors knew.
Instead, they walk along narrow paths
    that nobody takes care of.
¹⁶ So I will cause their land to become a terrible place.
    People will always see how disgusting my people are.
Everybody who goes near there
    will be very surprised.
    They will shake their heads and they will insult my people.
¹⁷ I will send enemies to attack them.
They will chase my people away,
    like an east wind that blows away dust.
I will turn away from them
    when that day of great trouble arrives.
I will refuse to help them.’
