Jeremiah 6:9-17

9This is what the LORD of Hosts says:

“Glean the remnant of Israelas thoroughly as a vine.Pass your hand once more like a grape gathererover the branches.”

10To whom can I give this warning?Who will listen to me?Look, their ears are closed,1so they cannot hear.See, the word of the LORD has become offensive to them;they find no pleasure in it.11But I am full of the LORD’s wrath;I am tired of holding it back.

“Pour it out on the children in the street,and on the young men gathered together.For both husband and wife will be captured,the old and the very old alike.12Their houses will be turned over to others,their fields and wives as well,for I will stretch out My handagainst the inhabitants of the land,”declares the LORD.13“For from the least of them to the greatest,all are greedy for gain;from prophet to priest,all practice deceit.14They dress the wound of My peoplewith very little care,saying, ‘Peace, peace,’when there is no peace at all.15Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed?No, they have no shame at all;they do not even know how to blush.So they will fall among the fallen;when I punish them, they will collapse,”says the LORD.

16This is what the LORD says:

“Stand at the crossroads and look.Ask for the ancient paths: ‘Where is the good way?’Then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.But they said, ‘We will not walk in it!’17I appointed watchmen over you and said,‘Listen for the sound of the ram’s horn.’But they answered, ‘We will not listen!’
