Jeremiah 18:15 — KJV
They have caused them. A reference to the false prophets and teachers who have led the people astray (see Jer. 14:13-18).
From the ancient paths. The same as “their ways” just mentioned (“from” is not in the Hebrew), referring to the time-honored faith of the patriarchs (see on Jer. 6:16). Leaving the broad “paths,” or ways, to walk in the smaller side “paths” (different in Hebrew from the first “paths”), how could Judah expect to do otherwise than “stumble”?
