Jeremiah 6:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵They should be ashamed of the evil things they do,
    but they are not ashamed at all.
They don’t know enough to be embarrassed by their sins.
    So they will be punished with everyone else.
They will be thrown to the ground when I punish the people.”
    This is what the Lord said.

¹⁶This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look.
    Ask where the old road is.
Ask where the good road is,
    and walk on that road.
If you do, you will find rest for yourselves.
    But you people have said, ‘We will not walk on the good road.’
¹⁷I chose watchmen to watch over you.
    I told them, ‘Listen for the sound of the war trumpet.’
    But they said, ‘We will not listen!’
