Jeremiah 6:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord:
Stand at the crossroads, and look,
    and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way lies; and walk in it,
    and find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
¹⁷ Also I raised up sentinels for you:
    ‘Give heed to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not give heed.’
¹⁸ Therefore hear, O nations,
    and know, O congregation, what will happen to them.
