“Stand where the roads cross and look.
    Ask where the old way is,
where the good way is, and walk on it.
    If you do, you will find rest for yourselves.
    But they have said, ‘We will not walk on the good way.’
¹⁷ I set watchmen over you
    and told you, ‘Listen for the sound of the war trumpet!’
    But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
¹⁸ So listen, all you nations,
    and pay attention, you witnesses.
    Watch what I will do to the people of Judah.
