14 They try to heal my people’s serious injuries
    as if they were small wounds.
They say, ‘It’s all right, it’s all right!’
    But really, it is not all right.
15 They should be ashamed of the terrible way they act.
    But they are not ashamed at all.
    They don’t even know how to blush about their sins.
So they will fall, along with everyone else.
    They will be thrown to the ground when I punish them,” says the Lord.

16 This is what the Lord says:

“Stand where the roads cross and look.
    Ask where the old way is.
Ask where the good way is, and walk on it.
    If you do, you will find rest for yourselves.
    But you have said, ‘We will not walk on the good way!’

14 They dress the wound of my people
    as though it were not serious.

    they do not even know how to blush.(B)
So they will fall among the fallen;
    they will be brought down when I punish(C) them,”
says the Lord.

16 This is what the Lord says:

“Stand at the crossroads and look;
    ask for the ancient paths,(D)
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.’
