Jeremiah 18:13-17 - Deluded Israel

¹³ Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Ask, I pray you, among the nations, Who hath heard like these? A very horrible thing hath the virgin of Israel done. ¹⁴ Doth snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Failed are the cold strange waters that flow? ¹⁵ But My people have forgotten Me, to a vain thing they make perfume, And they cause them to stumble in their ways -- paths of old, To walk in paths -- a way not raised up, ¹⁶ To make their land become a desolation, A hissing age-during, Every passer by it is astonished, And bemoaneth with his head. ¹⁷ As an east wind I scatter them before an enemy, The neck, and not the face, I shew them, In the day of their calamity.'
