Jeremiah 18:14-16
English Standard Version Anglicised
14 Does the snow of Lebanon leave
the crags of Sirion?[a]
Do the mountain waters run dry,[b]
the cold flowing streams?
15 (A)But my people have forgotten me;
they make offerings to (B)false gods;
they made them stumble in their ways,
(C)in the ancient roads,
and to walk into side roads,
(D)not the highway,
16 making their land (E)a horror,
a thing (F)to be hissed at for ever.
(G)Everyone who passes by it is horrified
(H)and shakes 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)
