Jeremías 6:18 In-Context

16 Así dice el SEÑOR:«Deténganse en los caminos y miren;pregunten por los senderos antiguos.Pregunten por el buen camino,y no se aparten de él.Así hallarán el descanso anhelado.Pero ellos dijeron:“No lo seguiremos”.
17 Yo aposté centinelas para ustedes, y dije:“Presten atención al toque de trompeta”.Pero ellos dijeron:“No prestaremos atención”.
18 Por eso, ¡escuchen, naciones!¡Sepa la congregación lo que le espera!
19 Escucha, tierra:Traigo sobre este pueblo una desgracia,fruto de sus maquinaciones,porque no prestaron atención a mis palabras,sino que rechazaron mi enseñanza.
20 ¿De qué me sirve este incienso que llega de Sabá,o la caña dulce de un país lejano?Sus holocaustos no me gustan;sus sacrificios no me agradan».
