Jeremiah 6:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ I chose watchmen to watch over you.
    I told them, ‘Listen for the sound of the war trumpet.’
    But they said, ‘We will not listen!’
¹⁸ So listen, all you nations,
    and pay attention, you people in those countries.^[a]
19 Hear this, people of the earth:
    I am going to bring disaster to the people of Judah
    because of all the evil they planned,
and because they ignored my messages.
    They refused to obey my law.
