Jeremiah 6:11-21 (Complete Jewish Bible)
11
This is why I am full of ADONAI's fury; I am weary of holding it back. "Pour it out on the children in the street and on the groups of young men gathered; for husbands and wives will be taken together, seniors as well as the very old.
12
Their homes will be turned over to others, their fields together with their wives. Yes, I will stretch out my hand against those who are living in the land," says ADONAI.
13
"For from the least to the greatest of them, all are greedy for gains; prophets and cohanim alike, they all practice fraud
14
they dress the wound of my people, but only superficially, saying, 'There is perfect shalom,' when there is no shalom.
15
"They should be ashamed of their detestable deeds, but they are not ashamed at all; they don't know how to blush. Therefore when others fall, they too will fall; when I punish them, they will stumble," says ADONAI.
16
Here is what ADONAI says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask about the ancient paths, 'Which one is the good way?' Take it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not take it.'
17
I appointed sentinels to direct them: 'Listen for the sound of the shofar.' But they said, 'We will not listen.'
18
So hear, you nations; know, you assembly, what there is against them.
19
Hear, oh earth! I am going to bring disaster on this people; it is the consequence of their own way of thinking; for they pay no attention to my words; and as for my Torah, they reject it.
20
What do I care about incense from Sh'va or sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are unacceptable, your sacrifices don't please me."
21
Therefore thus says ADONAI: "I will put obstacles in the way of this people that they will stumble over fathers and sons, neighbors and friends, all will perish together."
