Jeremiah 18:15
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Yet My people have forgotten Me. They burn incense to worthless idols that make them stumble in their ways, leaving the ancient roads to walk on rutted bypaths instead of on the highway.
In context
13 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “Inquire among the nations: Who has ever heard things like these? Virgin Israel has done a most terrible thing.
14 Does the snow of Lebanon ever leave its rocky slopes? Or do its cool waters flowing from a distance ever run dry?
15 Yet My people have forgotten Me. They burn incense to worthless idols that make them stumble in their ways, leaving the ancient roads to walk on rutted bypaths instead of on the highway.
16 They have made their land a desolation, a perpetual object of scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and shake their heads.
17 I will scatter them before the enemy like the east wind. I will show them My back and not My face in the day of their calamity.”
