Jeremiah 6:16-21

16Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870, and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the oldH5769 pathsH5410, where is the goodH2896 wayH1870, and walkH3212 therein, and ye shall findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315. But they saidH559, We will not walkH3212 therein. 17Also I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over you, saying, HearkenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782. But they saidH559, We will not hearkenH7181.

18Therefore hearH8085, ye nationsH1471, and knowH3045, O congregationH5712, what is among them. 19HearH8085, O earthH776: behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, even the fruitH6529 of their thoughtsH4284, because they have not hearkenedH7181 unto my wordsH1697, nor to my lawH8451, but rejectedH3988 it. 20To what purpose comethH935 there to me incenseH3828 from ShebaH7614, and the sweetH2896 caneH7070 from a farH4801 countryH776? your burnt offeringsH5930 are not acceptableH7522, nor your sacrificesH2077 sweetH6149 unto me. 21Therefore thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Behold, I will layH5414 stumblingblocksH4383 before this peopleH5971, and the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162 shall fallH3782 upon them; the neighbourH7934 and his friendH7453 shall perishH6.
