Jeremiah 18:15

Deluded Israel

¹⁴ Doth snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Failed are the cold strange waters that flow? ¹⁵ But My people have forgotten Me, to a vain thing they make perfume, And they cause them to stumble in their ways -- paths of old, To walk in paths -- a way not raised up, ¹⁶ To make their land become a desolation, A hissing age-during, Every passer by it is astonished, And bemoaneth with his head.

Burn Incense

Burned Incense

Lifted Up

My People

Offered Sacrifices

Worthless Idols

Vain Idols
