Jeremiah 18 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
11 Now therefore tell the man of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith our Lord: Behold I forge evil against you, and devise a device against you: let every man return from his evil way, and direct ye your ways and your studies.
12 Who said: We are desperate: for we will go after our cogitations, and we will do every one the perversity of his evil heart.
13 Therefore thus saith our Lord: Ask the Nations: Who hath heard such horrible things, as the virgin of Israel hath done exceedingly?
14 Why shall the snow of Libanus fail from the rock of the field? Or can the cold waters gushing forth and running down, be drawn out?
15 Because my people hath forgotten me, sacrificing in vain, and stumbling in their ways, in the paths of the world, that they might walk by them in a way not trodden:
16 that their land might be made into desolation, and into an everlasting hiss: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, & wag his head.
17 As the burning wind will I disperse them before the enemy: the back, and not the face will I shew them in the day of their perdition.
