Jeremiah 6:17 in Context — Jeremiah 6
15 ¿Hanse avergonzado de haber hecho abominación? No por cierto, no se han avergonzado, ni aun saben tener vergüenza: por tanto caerán entre los que caerán; caerán cuando los visitaré, dice Jehová.
16 Así dijo Jehová: Paraos en los caminos, y mirad, y preguntad por las sendas antiguas, cuál sea el buen camino, y andad por él, y hallaréis descanso para vuestra alma. Mas dijeron: No andaremos.
17 Desperté también sobre vosotros atalayas, [que dijesen]: Escuchad á la voz de la trompeta. Y dijeron ellos: No escucharemos.
18 Por tanto oid, gentes, y conoce, oh conjunto de ellas.
19 Oye, tierra. He aquí yo traigo mal sobre este pueblo, el fruto de sus pensamientos; porque no escucharon á mis palabras, y aborrecieron mi ley.
