forsaken
«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? / Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up; / To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.»
