1599 Geneva Bible
14 Will a man forsake the snow of Lebanon, which cometh from the rock of the field? [a]or shall the cold flowing waters, that come from another place, be forsaken?
15 Because my people hath forgotten me, and have burnt incense to vanity, and their prophets have caused them to stumble in their ways from the [b]ancient ways, to walk in the paths and way that is not trodden,

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)
