Jeremiah 18:12-17

New International Version

“Inquire among the nations:
    Who has ever heard anything like this?^(C)
A most horrible^(D) thing has been done
    by Virgin^(E) Israel.
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^(F) me;
    they burn incense^(G) to worthless idols,^(H)
which made them stumble^(I) in their ways,
    in the ancient paths.^(J)
They made them walk in byways,
    on roads not built up.^(K)
16 Their land will be an object of horror^(L)
    and of lasting scorn;^(M)
all who pass by will be appalled^(N)
    and will shake their heads.^(O)
17 Like a wind^(P) from the east,
    I will scatter them before their enemies;
I will show them my back and not my face^(Q)
    in the day of their disaster.”
