15 They should be ashamed of the terrible way they act,
    but they are not ashamed at all.
    They don’t even know how to blush about their sins.
So they will fall, along with everyone else.
    They will be thrown to the ground when I punish them,” says the Lord.

16 This is what the Lord says:

“Stand where the roads cross and look.

17 I set watchmen over you
    and told you, ‘Listen for the sound of the war trumpet!’
    But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
