    and ask for the ancient paths, where the way of the good is,
and walk in it, and find rest for your inner selves.[a]

17 And I raised up watchmen over you:
    ‘Listen attentively to the sound of a horn.’
    But they said, ‘We will not listen attentively.’
18 Therefore[c] hear, O nations, and know, O community,
    what will happen to them.[d]
