Jeremiah 6:16 - The Message
Gods Message yet again: "Go stand at the crossroads and look around.
Ask for directions to the old road,
The tried-and-true road. Then take it.
Discover the right route for your souls.
But they said, Nothing doing.
We arent going that way.
I even provided watchmen for them
to warn them, to set off the alarm.
But the people said, Its a false alarm.
It doesnt concern us.
And so Im calling in the nations as witnesses:
Watch, witnesses, what happens to them!
And, Pay attention, Earth!
Dont miss these bulletins.
Im visiting catastrophe on this people, the end result
of the games theyve been playing with me.
Theyve ignored everything Ive said,
had nothing but contempt for my teaching.
What would I want with incense brought in from Sheba,
rare spices from exotic places?
Your burnt sacrifices in worship give me no pleasure.
Your religious rituals mean nothing to me."
