14 Does the snow of Lebanon leave
    the crags of Sirion?[a]
Do the mountain[b] waters run dry,[c]
    the cold flowing streams?
15 But my people have forgotten me,
    they burn offerings to a delusion;
they have stumbled[d] in their ways,
    in the ancient roads,
and have gone into bypaths,
    not the highway,
16 making their land a horror,
    a thing to be hissed at for ever.
All who pass by it are horrified
    and shake their heads.
