Jeremiah 18:13-15
Easy-to-Read Version
13 Listen to what the Lord says:
“Ask the other nations this question:
‘Have you ever heard of anything so bad?’
Israel, who is as dear to me as a young daughter,
has done this terrible thing!
14 It is as strange as not finding snow on Lebanon’s mountains
or seeing the cool streams that come from there stop flowing.
That just does not happen!
15 But my people have forgotten me.
They burn offerings to worthless idols.
They have left the right way that their ancestors followed,
and they stumble on the path they have chosen.
Instead of staying on the good road I showed them,
they prefer to walk on bumpy paths.
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)
