Jeremiah 6:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 They have acted shamefully, committing abominations,
yet they are not at all ashamed,
they do not know how to blush.
Therefore they will fall among the fallen;
in the time of their punishment they shall stumble,
says the Lord.(A)
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.”(B)
17 I raised up watchmen[b] for them:
“Pay attention to the sound of the trumpet!”
But they said, “We will not pay attention!”
