Jeremiah 6:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ They treat the wound of my people
    as though it were a minor bruise,
saying, “All is well,”
    when in reality, disaster looms on the horizon.
¹⁵ They should be ashamed
    because of their abominable deeds.
Yet they are never ashamed
    they do not know how to blush.
Therefore, they will fall along with the others;
    they will be cast down when I punish them,
    says the Lord.
¹⁶ These are the words of the Lord of hosts:
    Stand at the crossroads and look around;
    ask for the ancient paths.
When you are shown where the good way lies,
    walk along it and your souls will find rest.
    However, they said, “We will not take it.”
