13 From the least to the greatest,each is eager to profit;from prophet to priest,each trades in dishonesty.
14 They treat the wound of my peopleas if it were nothing:"All is well, all is well," they insist,when in fact nothing is well.
15 They should be ashamedof their detestable practices,but they have no shame;they don’t even blush!Therefore, they will fall among the fallenand stumble when I bring disaster,declares the Lord.
16 The Lord proclaims:Stop at the crossroads and look around;ask for the ancient paths.Where is the good way?Then walk in itand find a resting place for yourselves.But you said, "We won’t go!"
17 Still, I have appointed watchmen to warn you.But you said, "We won’t listen!"
18 Therefore, pay attention, nations;take notice, assembly,what is ahead of them.
19 Pay attention, earth:I’m bringing disaster upon my people,the fruit of their own devices,because they have ignored my wordsand they have rejected my teaching.
