Or is the cold flowing water from a foreign land ever snatched away?
15 ‘For (A)My people have forgotten Me,
(B)They burn incense [a]to worthless gods
And they [b]have stumbled [c]from their ways,
[d]From the (C)ancient paths,
To walk in bypaths,
Not on a (D)highway,
16 To make their land a (E)desolation,
An object of perpetual (F)hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And (G)shake his head.
