Jeremiah 18:15 Context
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? 15Because my people hath forgotten mee, they haue burnt incense to vanitie, and they haue caused them to stumble in their waies from the ancient paths, to walke in paths, in a way not cast vp, 16To make their land desolate and a perpetuall hissing: euery one that passeth thereby shall bee astonished, and wagge his head. 17I will scatter them as with an East winde before the enemie: I will shew them the backe, and not the face, in the day of their calamitie.

Wesley's Notes for Jeremiah 18:15
18:15 Vanity - Idols. Ancient paths - The ways wherein Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the ancient patriarchs walked. To walk - In a way not cast up, not fit for God's people to walk in.
