16ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “StandH5975 by the waysH1870 and seeH7200 and askH7592 for the 1ancientH5769 pathsH5410, WhereH335 the goodH2896 wayH1870 is, and walkH1980 in it; And 2you will findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315. But they saidH559, ‘We will not walkH1980 in it.’17And I setH6965 3watchmenH6822 overH5921 you, saying, ‘ListenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782!’ But they saidH559, ‘We will not listenH7181.’18ThereforeH3651 hearH8085, O nationsH1471, And knowH3045, O congregationH5712, whatH834 is among them.194HearH8085, O earthH776: beholdH2009, I am bringingH935 disasterH7463 on thisH2088 peopleH5971, The 5fruitH6529 of their 6plansH4284, BecauseH3588H5921 they have not listenedH7181 to My wordsH1697, And as for My lawH8451, they have 7rejectedH3988 it also.208For whatH4100 purposeH2088 does 9frankincenseH3828 comeH935 to Me from ShebaH7614 And the 1011sweetH2896 caneH7070 from a distantH4801 landH776? 12Your burntH5930 offeringsH5930 are not acceptableH7522 And your sacrificesH2077 are not pleasingH6149 to Me.”21ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, 13I am 14layingH5414 stumblingH4383 blocksH4383 beforeH413 thisH2088 peopleH5971. And they will stumbleH3782 against them, 15FathersH1 and sonsH1121 togetherH3164; NeighborH7934 and 16friendH7453 will perishH6.”
