Jeremiah 6:16-21 - Disaster Because Of Disobedience
16 Thus saith Yahweh - Stand ye at the ways - and see, And ask for the paths of age-past times, Where is the good way? And walk therein, And ye shall find rest to your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein ! 17 Therefore will I raise up over you, watchmen, Give ye heed to the sound of a horn, - But they said, We will not give heed!
18 Therefore, hear O ye nations, - And take knowledge O assembly, Of that which befalleth them: 19 Hear thou - O earth, Lo! I, am bringing in Calamity against this people the fruit of their own devices, - For unto my words, have they not given heed, And as for my law, they have rejected it. 20 What then is it to me that - Frankincense from Shebah come in, or Sweet cane from a land afar off? Your own ascending-offerings, are not acceptable, Nor are, your sacrifices, pleasing to me. 21 Wherefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! laying before this people, stumblingblocks, - And fathers and sons together, shall stumble against them, The neighbour and his friend, shall perish.
