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)

    in the ancient paths.(E)

    and of lasting scorn;(H)
all who pass by will be appalled(I)
    and will shake their heads.(J)
