Jeremiah 18:11-17

11Now therefore, tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I am planning a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways, and correct your ways and deeds.’

12But they will reply, ‘It is hopeless. We will follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’”

13Therefore 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.14Does the snow of Lebanonever leave its rocky slopes?Or do its cool waters flowing from a distanceever run dry?15Yet My people have forgotten Me.They burn incense to worthless idolsthat make them stumble in their ways,leaving the ancient roadsto walk on rutted bypathsinstead of on the highway.16They have made their land a desolation,a perpetual object of scorn;all who pass by will be appalledand shake their heads.17I will scatter them before the enemylike the east wind.I will show them My back and not My facein the day of their calamity.”
