Jeremiah 18:14-16

New International Reader's Version

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.
¹⁶ So their land will become a horrible thing.
    People will make fun of it again and again.
All those who pass by it will be shocked.
    They will shake their heads.
