16 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H5975 , Stand [H8798] H1870 ye in the ways H7200 , and see [H8799] H7592 , and ask [H8798] H5769 for the old H5410 paths H2896 , where is the good H1870 way H3212 , and walk [H8799] H4672 therein, and ye shall find [H8798] H4771 rest H5315 for your souls H559 . But they said [H8799] H3212 , We will not walk [H8798] therein .

17 H6965 Also I set [H8689] H6822 watchmen [H8802] H7181 over you, saying, Hearken [H8685] H6963 to the sound H7782 of the trumpet H559 . But they said [H8799] H7181 , We will not hearken [H8686] .

18 H8085 Therefore hear [H8798] H1471 , ye nations H3045 , and know [H8798] H5712 , O congregation, what is among them.

19 H8085 Hear [H8798] H776 , O earth H935 : behold, I will bring [H8688] H7451 evil H5971 upon this people H6529 , even the fruit H4284 of their thoughts H7181 , because they have not hearkened [H8689] H1697 unto my words H8451 , nor to my law H3988 , but rejected [H8799] it.

20 H935 To what purpose cometh [H8799] H3828 there to me incense H7614 from Sheba H2896 , and the sweet H7070 cane H4801 from a far H776 country H5930 ? your burnt offerings H7522 are not acceptable H2077 , nor your sacrifices H6149 sweet [H8804] unto me.
