According to Jeremiah, people wouldn't choose to leave something good and important, like the snow on the mountains, for something strange and not as nice. This teaches us that we should hold on to what is truly valuable and not be led away by things that don't really matter.

Jeremiah 18:14: Will [a man] leave the snow of Lebanon [which cometh] from the rock of the field? [or] shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken? [the snow...: or, my fields for a rock, or for the snow of Lebanon? shall the running waters be forsaken for the strange cold waters?]

Contradiction with Jeremiah 18:16

Unlike Jeremiah 18:14, which uses natural imagery to symbolize God's steadfastness, this verse describes desolation as a result of turning away from God, suggesting a different outcome when God's will is defied.

Jeremiah 18:16: To make their land desolate, [and] a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

Contradiction with Isaiah 40:8

This verse emphasizes the eternal nature of God's word, contradicting Jeremiah 18:14 by implying that despite natural changes, God's promises endure unchanged.

Isaiah 40:8: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Contradiction with James 1:17

Suggests that God is unchanging and steadfast, unlike the imagery in Jeremiah 18:14 where natural elements like snow and waters are potentially transient.

James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Contradiction with Malachi 3:6

God states, "For I am the Lord, I change not," contrasting with Jeremiah 18:14, where natural elements are described as potentially changing or failing.

Malachi 3:6: For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
