Jeremiah 18:11-17

11So now then, speak to the men of Judah and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am 1fashioning calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh 2turn back, each of you from his evil way, and 3reform your ways and your deeds.”’ 12But 4they will say, ‘It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the 5stubbornness of his evil heart.’

13“Therefore thus says the Lord, ‘6Ask now among the nations, Who ever heard the like of 7this? The 8virgin of Israel Has done a most 9appalling thing.14Does the snow of Lebanon forsake the rock of the open country? Or is the cold flowing water from a foreign land ever snatched away?15For 10My people have forgotten Me, 11They burn incense 12to worthless gods And they 13have stumbled 14from their ways, 15From the 16ancient paths, To walk in bypaths, Not on a 17highway,16To make their land a 18desolation, An object of perpetual 19hissing; Everyone who passes by it will be astonished And 20shake his head.17Like an 21east wind I will 22scatter them Before the enemy; I will 23show them 24My back and not My face 25In the day of their calamity.’”
