Exegesis
The verse presents two parallel questions introduced by hayaazov {הֲיַעֲזֹב | ha-ya-ʿa-zōv} and im-yinnateshu {אִם־יִנָּתְשׁוּ | ʾim-yin-nā-teš-û}, contrasting the enduring imagery of snow with the continuity of water.
In context — Jeremiah 18:14
Does the snow of Lebanon ever leave the rock of the field, or are cold flowing waters from a foreign place ever forsaken?
