Jeremiah 6:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look.
    Ask where the old road is.
Ask where the good road is,
    and walk on that road.
If you do, you will find rest for yourselves.
    But you people have said, ‘We will not walk on the good road.’
¹⁷ I chose watchmen to watch over you.
    I told them, ‘Listen for the sound of the war trumpet.’
    But they said, ‘We will not listen!’
¹⁸ So listen, all you nations,
    and pay attention, you people in those countries.^[a]
