Jeremiah 18:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
13 So the Lord says this:
‘Go and ask the people of other nations!
Have they ever heard about anything as terrible as this?
My people, Israel, should have been pure.
But they have done a disgusting thing!
14 There is always snow on Lebanon's mountains.
Cold streams of water always pour down from those high rocks.
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.
Jeremiah 18:13-15

Jeremiah 18:13-15
New International Version
13 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“Inquire among the nations:
Who has ever heard anything like this?(A)
A most horrible(B) thing has been done
by Virgin(C) Israel.
14 Does the snow of Lebanon
ever vanish from its rocky slopes?
Do its cool waters from distant sources
ever stop flowing?[a]
15 Yet my people have forgotten(D) me;
they burn incense(E) to worthless idols,(F)
which made them stumble(G) in their ways,
in the ancient paths.(H)
They made them walk in byways,
on roads not built up.(I)
