16 Thus says Adonai:
    “Stand in the roads and look.
    Ask for the ancient paths—
    where the good way is—and walk in it.
    Then you will find rest for your souls.[a]
    But they said, ‘We won’t walk in it.’
17 So I set watchmen over you, saying
    ‘Listen to the sound of the shofar!
    But they said, ‘We won’t listen.’
18 Therefore hear, O nations
    and observe, O congregation,
        what is against them.
19 Hear, O earth!
    See, I will bring disaster on this people
    —fruit of their schemes—
    for they did not listen to My words
        and rejected My Torah.
