Jeremiah 18:15-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ But my people have forgotten me.
    They burn offerings to worthless idols.
They have left the right way that their ancestors followed,
    and they stumble on the path they have chosen.
Instead of staying on the good road I showed them,
    they prefer to walk on bumpy paths.
¹⁶ So their land will become an empty desert,
    a place for people from now on to make fun of.
All who pass by there will be shocked by what has happened.
    They will just shake their heads at what they see.
