15 “Were they aashamed because of the abomination they have done?

They were not even ashamed at all;

They did not even know how to blush.

Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;

At the time that I punish them,

They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.

16 Thus says the Lord,

“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the aancient paths,

Where the good way is, and walk in it;

And byou will find rest for your souls.

But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

17 “And I set awatchmen over you, saying,

‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’

But they said, ‘We will not listen.’

18 “Therefore hear, O nations,

And know, O congregation, what is among them.

19 “aHear, O earth: behold, I am bringing disaster on this people,

The bfruit of their 1plans,

Because they have not listened to My words,

And as for My law, they have crejected it also.
