Jeremiah 6:13-17

13“From the least to the greatest, their lives are ruled by greed. From prophets to priests, they are all frauds.

14They offer superficial treatments for my people’s mortal wound. They give assurances of peace when there is no peace.

15Are they ashamed of their disgusting actions? Not at all—they don’t even know how to blush! Therefore, they will lie among the slaughtered. They will be brought down when I punish them,” says the Lord.

16This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’

17I posted watchmen over you who said, ‘Listen for the sound of the alarm.’ But you replied, ‘No! We won’t pay attention!’
