Jeremiah 6:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 They have treated lightly
the injury to my people:
“Peace, peace!” they say,
though there is no peace.(A)
15 They have acted shamefully, committing abominations,
yet they are not at all ashamed,
they do not know how to blush.
Therefore they will fall among the fallen;
in the time of their punishment they shall stumble,
says the Lord.(B)
16 Thus says the Lord:
Stand by the earliest roads,
ask the pathways of old,[a]
“Which is the way to good?” and walk it;
thus you will find rest for yourselves.
But they said, “We will not walk it.”(C)

Jeremiah 6:14-16
New International Version
14 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
when there is no peace.(A)
15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
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:
