14 They dress the wound of my people
    as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
    when there is no peace.(A)

    they will be brought down when I punish(C) them,”

ask where the good way(E) is, and walk in it,
    and you will find rest(F) for your souls.
    But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
