14 Will a man1 leave the snow water of Lebanon,
Which comes from the rock of the field?
Will the cold flowing waters be forsaken for strange waters?

15 “Because My people have forgotten aMe,
They have burned incense to worthless idols.
And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways,
From the bancient paths,
To walk in pathways and not on a highway,
They have burned incense to worthless idols.
And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways,
From the bancient paths,
To walk in pathways and not on a highway,
16 To make their land adesolate and a perpetual bhissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And shake his head.
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And shake his head.
