Jeremiah 6:16-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord,
“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ^(A)ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And ^(B)you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
¹⁷ “And I set ^(C)watchmen over you, saying,
‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
¹⁸ “Therefore hear, O nations,
And know, O congregation, what is among them.
¹⁹ “^(D)Hear, O earth: behold, I am bringing disaster on this people,
The ^(E)fruit of their ^[a]plans,
Because they have not listened to My words,
And as for My law, they have ^(F)rejected it also.
