¹⁶ Thus says the Lord:
“Stand by the roads, and look,
    and ask for ^(A)the ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it,
    ^(B)and find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

^15 (A)But my people have forgotten me;
    they make offerings to ^(B)false gods;
they made them stumble in their ways,
    ^(C)in the ancient roads,
and to walk into side roads,
    ^(D)not the highway,
