Jeremiah 6:16-21
Legacy Standard Bible
16 Thus says Yahweh,
“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the (A)ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And (B)you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 And I set (C)watchmen over you, saying,
‘Give heed to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not give heed.’
18 Therefore hear, O nations,
And know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 (D)Hear, O earth: behold, I am bringing evil on this people,
The (E)fruit of their [a]plans,
Because they have not given heed to My words,
And as for My law, they have (F)rejected it also.
20 (G)For what purpose does (H)frankincense come to Me from Sheba
And the [b](I)sweet cane from a distant land?
(J)Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,
And your sacrifices are not pleasing to Me.”
21 Therefore, thus says Yahweh,
“Behold, (K)I am [c]laying stumbling blocks before this people.
And they will stumble against them,
(L)Fathers and sons together;
Neighbor and [d]friend will perish.”

Jeremiah 6:16-21
International Standard Version
Israel Refuses to Repent
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Stand beside the roads and watch.
Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is.
Walk in it and find rest for yourselves.
But they said, ‘We won’t walk in it!’[a]
17 I appointed watchmen over you.
Listen for the sound of the trumpet.
But they said, ‘We won’t listen!’
18 Therefore, hear, nations,
and know, congregation,
what will happen to them.[b]
19 Listen, earth!
I’m about to bring calamity on this people,
on the fruit of their plans,
because they didn’t listen to my words
and they rejected my instruction.[c]
20 What good is frankincense
that comes from Sheba[d] to me,
or sweet cane from a distant country?
Your burnt offerings aren’t acceptable,
nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.”
21 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
“I’m about to put stumbling blocks in front of this people,
and fathers and sons will stumble over them together.
The neighbor and his friends will perish.”
