Jeremiah 6:16-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Thus says the Lord:
Stand by the earliest roads,
ask the pathways of old,[a]
“Which is the way to good?” and walk it;
thus you will find rest for yourselves.
But they said, “We will not walk it.”(A)
17 I raised up watchmen[b] for them:
“Pay attention to the sound of the trumpet!”
But they said, “We will not pay attention!”
