Jeremiah 6:16-21 - Disaster Because Of Disobedience

¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah, Stand ye upon the ways, and see, and ask for the beaten paths of old, where this the good way, and go ye in it, and find rest to your soul. And they will say, We will not go. ¹⁷ And I set up watchers over you, Attend ye to the voice of the trumpet And they will say, We will not attend.

¹⁸ For this, hear ye nations, and know, O Assembly, what is among them. ¹⁹ Hear, thou earth: Behold me bringing evil to this people, the fruit of their purposes, for to my word they hearkened not, and my law they will reject it. ²⁰ Wherefore this to me shall frankincense come from Sheba, and the good cane from a land from far off? your burnt-offerings are not for acceptance, and your sacrifices were not sweet to me. ²¹ For this, thus said Jehovah, Behold me giving to this people stumbling blocks, and they stumbled upon them, the fathers and sons together; the inhabitant and his neighbor shall perish
