Jeremiah 18:13-17 - Deluded Israel

13 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:

Ask among the nations,
Who has heard things like these?
Virgin Israel has done a most terrible thing.
14 Does the snow of Lebanon ever leave the highland crags?
Or does cold water flowing from a distance ever fail?
15 Yet My people have forgotten Me.
They burn incense to false idols
that make them stumble in their ways
on the ancient roads
and walk on new paths, not the highway.
16 They have made their land a horror,
a perpetual object of scorn;
everyone who passes by it will be horrified
and shake his head.
17 I will scatter them before the enemy like the east wind.
I will show them My back and not My face
on the day of their calamity.
