Jeremiah 6:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ The Lord proclaims:
Stop at the crossroads and look around;
    ask for the ancient paths.
    Where is the good way?
Then walk in it
    and find a resting place for yourselves.
        But you^[a] said, “We won’t go!”
¹⁷ Still, I have appointed watchmen to warn you.
    But you^[b] said, “We won’t listen!”
¹⁸ Therefore, pay attention, nations;
        take notice, assembly,
        what is ahead of them.^[c]
