Jeremiah 18:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:
‘(A)Just ask among the nations,
Who ever heard anything like [a]this?
The (B)virgin of Israel
Has done a most (C)appalling thing.
14 Does the snow of Lebanon leave the rock of the open country alone?
Or is the cold flowing water from a foreign land ever dried up?
15 For (D)My people have forgotten Me,
(E)They burn incense [b]to worthless gods.
And they [c]have stumbled in their ways,
In the (F)ancient roads,
To walk on paths,
Not on a (G)highway,

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)
