14     To heal the brokenness of My people,
        they offer superficial words.
    They say, “Peace, peace,” as if all is well.
        But there is no peace.
15     Do they feel any shame for their disgraceful deeds?
        Absolutely not. My very own have forgotten how to blush.
    And so it is that they will fall among the fallen and be defeated;
        when the time comes, they will stumble beneath the weight of My punishment;
    They will know soon enough what they have done.

This is what the Eternal decrees:

16 Eternal One (to the people): Stand at the crossing, and consider the ancient path,
        for it is good and it leads to Me.
    Walk on this path, and you will find rest for your souls.
        But they have said, “We will not walk upon this road.”
