Jeremiah 18:14-16
Darby Translation
14 Shall the snow of Lebanon cease from the rock of the field? Shall the cool flowing waters coming from afar be dried up?
15 For my people hath forgotten me: they burn incense to vanity; and they have caused them to stumble in their ways, the ancient paths, to walk in by-paths of a way not cast up;
16 to make their land an astonishment, a perpetual hissing: every one that passeth by shall be astonished, and shake 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)
