Jeremiah 18:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 Does the snow of Lebanon
ever disappear from its rocky slopes?
Do the torrents of gushing waters
ever cease to flow?
15 Yet my people have forgotten me;
they burn incense to worthless idols,
causing them to stumble
as they forsake ancient roads
to travel along unfamiliar paths.
16 Their land will be laid waste,
an object of unending scorn.
Those who pass by will be appalled on beholding it
and shake their heads.
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)
