Jeremiah 6:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ They have treated the wound of my people carelessly,
    saying, “Peace, peace,”
    when there is no peace.
¹⁵ They acted shamefully, they committed abomination;
    yet they were not ashamed,
    they did not know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
    at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.
¹⁶ Thus says the Lord:
Stand at the crossroads, and look,
    and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way lies; and walk in it,
    and find rest for your souls.
But they said, “We will not walk in it.”
