Jeremiah 18:12 Context
10If it doe euill in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good; wherewith I saide I would benefite them. 11¶ Now therefore goe to, speake to the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I frame euill against you, and deuise a deuice against you: returne ye now euery one from his euill way, and make your waies and your doings good. 12And they said, There is no hope, but wee will walke after our owne deuices, and wee will euery one doe the imagination of his euil heart. 13Therefore thus saith the Lord, Aske ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things? the Uirgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing. 14Will a man leaue the snow of Lebanon which commeth from the rocke of the fielde? or shall the colde flowing waters that come from another place, be forsaken?
