15 “Were they ashamed when they
    committed abomination? No, they were
    not at all ashamed; they did not know
    how to blush. Therefore they shall fall
    among those who fall; at the time that
    I punish them, they shall be
        overthrown,” says Adonai.

16 Thus says Adonai:
    “Stand in the roads and look.
    Ask for the ancient paths—
    where the good way is—and walk in it.
    Then you will find rest for your souls.[a]
    But they said, ‘We won’t walk in it.’
17 So I set watchmen over you, saying
    ‘Listen to the sound of the shofar!
    But they said, ‘We won’t listen.’

“Stand at the crossroads and look;
    ask for the ancient paths,(C)
