Jeremiah 6:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand in the ways and behold, and ask for the [a]old way, which is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set [b]watchmen over you, which said, Take heed to the sound of the trumpet: but they said, We will not take heed.
18 Hear therefore, ye [c]Gentiles, and thou Congregation know, what is among them.

Jeremiah 6:16-18
New International Version
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,(A)
ask where the good way(B) is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest(C) for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 I appointed watchmen(D) over you and said,
‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’(E)
But you said, ‘We will not listen.’(F)
18 Therefore hear, you nations;
you who are witnesses,
observe what will happen to them.
