Jeremiah 6:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord:
Stand at the crossroads and look,
    and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way lies; and walk in it,
    and find rest for your souls.
But they said, “We will not walk in it.”^(A)
17 Also I raised up sentinels for you:
    “Give heed to the sound of the trumpet!”
But they said, “We will not give heed.”^(B)
18 Therefore hear, O nations,
    and know, O congregation, what will happen to them.
