No! They were not at all ashamed;
Nor did they know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
At the time I punish them,
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.
“Stand in the ways and see,
And ask for the aold paths, where the good way is,
And walk in it;
Then you will find brest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
b‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
Behold, I will certainly bring bcalamity on this people—
cThe fruit of their thoughts,
Because they have not heeded My words
Nor My law, but rejected it.
Comes frankincense bfrom Sheba,
And csweet cane from a far country?
dYour burnt offerings are not acceptable,
Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me.”
“Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people,
And the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them.
The neighbor and his friend shall perish.”
| << Jeremiah 6:16 | Jeremiah 6:18 >> |
