13 Because of that, Yahweh says this:

Ask the nations if they’ve ever heard anything like this?

The virgin Yisrael (Israel) has done something extremely horrible.

14 Does the snow in Lebanon ever disappear off its rocky slopes?

Do the cool waters stop flowing?

15 Yet my people have forgotten me.

They offer incense to useless idols

that have made them stumble on the ancient paths

that haven’t had any maintenance.

16 Their land will become a wasteland—forever mocked at.

Everyone who passes by will be appalled

and will wag their heads.

17 I’ll scatter them before their enemies like the east wind from the desert does.

I won’t look at them but will turn my back when their disaster comes.
