Jeremiah 18:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

“Ask the other nations this question:
    ‘Have you ever heard of anything so bad?’
Israel, who is as dear to me as a young daughter,
    has done this terrible thing!
¹⁴ It is as strange as not finding snow on Lebanon’s mountains
    or seeing the cool streams that come from there stop flowing.
    That just does not happen!
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.
