Jeremiah 6:15-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵Were they ashamed when they acted so abhorrently?
They weren’t at all ashamed.
They can no longer feel humiliation.^(A)
Therefore, they will fall among the fallen.
When I punish them, they will collapse,^(B)
says the Lord.

Disaster because of Disobedience

¹⁶This is what the Lord says:

Stand by the roadways and look.
Ask about the ancient paths:^(C)
Which is the way to what is good?
Then take it
and find rest for yourselves.^(D)
But they protested, “We won’t!”
¹⁷I appointed watchmen over you^(E)
and said: Listen for the sound of the ram’s horn.
But they protested, “We won’t listen!”
