Jeremiah 6:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

‘Stand at the place where the roads cross,
    and look carefully.
Ask where the ways of your ancestors are.^[a]
    Find the good way, and go along that way.
    Then you will live in peace.’
But the people said, ‘No, we will not go that way. ’

‘I sent my prophets to warn you of danger.
They said, “Listen for the noise of the trumpet!
    That will tell you when danger is near.”
But you said, “We do not want to listen.”
¹⁸ So listen to me, all you nations.
    Look carefully!
    See what will happen to my people.
