Jeremiah 18:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Does the snow on the mountains of Lebanon ever melt entirely
        off their rocky cliffs?
    Do the cool mountain streams ever dry up?^[a]
15 Yet my people have forgotten me;
    they have offered sacrifices to a lie.
And so they have stumbled along the way,
    even along the ancient paths.
They have taken side roads,
    not the main roads.^[b]
16 They have ruined their country
    and brought utter shame on it.
All who pass by are shocked
    and shake their heads.
