Jeremiah 6:17

17 I appointed watchmen over you and said,

‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’

But you said, ‘We will not listen.’

17 I set watchmen over you, saying,

‘Pay attention to the sound of the trumpet!’

But they said, ‘We will not pay attention.’

17 I posted watchmen over you who said,

‘Listen for the sound of the alarm.’

But you replied,

‘No! We won’t pay attention!’

17 Also, I set watchmen over you, saying,

‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’

But they said, ‘We will not listen.’

17 I set watchmen over you

and told you, ‘Listen for the sound of the war trumpet!’

But they said, ‘We will not listen.’

17 And I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken.

17 Also I have set watchmen over you: —Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

17 I posted watchmen over you. 

Pay attention to the sound of the ram’s horn. 

But you said that you wouldn’t pay attention. 

17 I appointed watchmen over you

and said: Listen for the sound of the ram’s horn.

But they protested, “We won’t listen!”

17 Also I raised up sentinels for you:

“Give heed to the sound of the trumpet!”

But they said, “We will not give heed.”

17 And I raised up watchmen over you:

‘Listen attentively to the sound of a horn.’

But they said, ‘We will not listen attentively.’

17 I appointed prophets to warn you. I said,

‘Listen to the sound of the trumpets!’

But you said, ‘We won’t listen.’

17 “And I set watchmen over you, saying,

‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’

But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
