Jeremiah 18:13-15
New International Reader's Version
Jeremiah 18:13-15
New International Reader's Version
13 So the Lord says,
“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.

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)
