Jeremiah 18:14-16
Authorized (King James) Version
14 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field?
or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?
15 Because my people hath forgotten me,
they have burned incense to vanity,
and they have caused them to stumble
in their ways from the ancient paths,
to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
16 to make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing;
every one that passeth thereby
shall be astonished, and wag his head.
Jeremiah 18:14-16
New International Version
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(A) me;
they burn incense(B) to worthless idols,(C)
which made them stumble(D) in their ways,
in the ancient paths.(E)
They made them walk in byways,
on roads not built up.(F)
16 Their land will be an object of horror(G)
and of lasting scorn;(H)
all who pass by will be appalled(I)
and will shake their heads.(J)
