Jeremiah 6:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 Thus says Yahweh: “Stand at the roads and look,
and ask for the ancient paths, where the way of the good is,
and walk in it, and find rest for your inner selves.[a]
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’[b]
17 And I raised up watchmen over you:
‘Listen attentively to the sound of a horn.’
But they said, ‘We will not listen attentively.’
18 Therefore[c] hear, O nations, and know, O community,
what will happen to them.[d]

16 This is what the Lord says:

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)

observe what will happen to them.
