Jeremiah 18:11-17

11So nowH6258 then, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063 and againstH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 sayingH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, I am 1fashioningH3335 calamityH7463 againstH5921 you and devisingH2803 a planH4284 againstH5921 you. OhH4994 2turnH7725 backH7725, eachH376 of you from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and 3reformH3190 your waysH1870 and your deedsH4611.”’ 12But 4they will sayH559, ‘It’s hopelessH2976! For we are goingH1980 to followH310H1980 our own plansH4284, and eachH376 of us will actH6213 according to the 5stubbornnessH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820.’

13“ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘6AskH7592 nowH4994 among the nationsH1471, WhoH4310 ever heardH8085 the like of 7thisH428? The 8virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 Has doneH6213 a mostH3966 9appallingH8186 thingH8186.14Does the snowH7950 of LebanonH3844 forsakeH5800 the rockH6697 of the open countryH7706? OrH518 is the coldH7119 flowingH5140 waterH4325 from a foreignH2114 land ever snatchedH5428 awayH5428?15For 10My peopleH5971 have forgottenH7911 Me, 11They burnH6999 incenseH6999 12to worthlessH7723 gods And they 13have stumbledH3782 14from their waysH1870, 15From the 16ancientH5769 pathsH7635, To walkH1980 in bypathsH5410, Not on a 17highwayH1870H5549,16To makeH7760 their landH776 a 18desolationH8047, An object of perpetualH5769 19hissingH8292; EveryoneH3605 who passesH5674 by it will be astonishedH8074 And 20shakeH5110 his headH7218.17Like an 21eastH6921 windH7307 I will 22scatterH6327 them BeforeH6440 the enemyH340; I will 23showH7200 them 24My backH6203 and not My faceH6440 25In the dayH3117 of their calamityH343.’”
