Jeremiah 18:14-16
Revised Standard Version
Jeremiah 18:14-16
Revised Standard Version
14 Does the snow of Lebanon leave
the crags of Si′rion?[a]
Do the mountain[b] waters run dry,[c]
the cold flowing streams?
15 But my people have forgotten me,
they burn incense to false gods;
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.
Every one who passes by it is horrified
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)
