Revised Version 1895
Jeremiah 6:16-21
16ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870 and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the oldH5769 pathsH5410, whereH335 is the goodH2896 wayH1870, and walkH1870 therein, and ye shall findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315: but they saidH559, WeH5315 will notH3808 walkH1870 therein.
17And I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over youH5921, sayingH559, Hearken to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782; but they saidH559, We will notH3808 hearken.
18Therefore hearH8085, ye nationsH1471, and knowH3045, O congregationH5712, whatH834 is among them.
19HearH8085, O earthH776: beholdH2009, I will bringH935 evilH7451 uponH5921 this peopleH5971, evenH3588 the fruitH6529 of their thoughtsH4284, becauseH3588 they have notH3808 hearkened unto my wordsH1697; and as for my lawH8451, they have rejectedH3988 it.
20To whatH4100 purposeH2088 cometh there to meH935 frankincenseH3828 from ShebaH7614, and the sweetH6149 caneH7070 from a farH4801 countryH776? your burntH5930 offeringsH5930 are notH3808 acceptableH7522, norH3808 your sacrificesH2077 pleasingH6149 unto meH935.
21Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, BeholdH2005, I will layH5414 stumblingblocks beforeH413 this peopleH5971: and the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162 shall stumbleH3782 againstH413 them; the neighbour and his friendH7453 shall perishH6.
