Jeremiah 6:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ These are the words of the Lord of hosts:
    Stand at the crossroads and look around;
    ask for the ancient paths.
When you are shown where the good way lies,
    walk along it and your souls will find rest.
    However, they said, “We will not take it.”
¹⁷ I also posted sentinels for you and said,
    “Listen to the sound of the trumpet!”
    But they said, “We will not give it any heed.”
¹⁸ Therefore, hear, you nations,
    and come to understand, you people,
    the fate that will befall them.
