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.

14 Does the snow of Lebanon
    ever vanish from its rocky slopes?

    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)
