This is what the Lord says:“ Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply,‘ No, that’s not the road we want!’I posted watchmen over you who said,‘ Listen for the sound of the alarm.’ But you replied,‘ No! We won’t pay attention!’

They rejected his decrees and the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and they despised all his warnings. They worshiped worthless idols, so they became worthless themselves. They followed the example of the nations around them, disobeying the Lord’s command not to imitate them.They rejected all the commands of the Lord their God and made two calves from metal. They set up an Asherah pole and worshiped Baal and all the forces of heaven.

I have written thirty sayings for you, filled with advice and knowledge.

Obey them completely, and you will display your wisdom and intelligence among the surrounding nations. When they hear all these decrees, they will exclaim,‘ How wise and prudent are the people of this great nation!’For what great nation has a god as near to them as the Lord our God is near to us whenever we call on him?And what great nation has decrees and regulations as righteous and fair as this body of instructions that I am giving you today?

You gave them regulations and instructions that were just, and decrees and commands that were good.You instructed them concerning your holy Sabbath.

For you refuse my discipline and treat my words like trash.

There I gave them my decrees and regulations so they could find life by keeping them.

that these people are stubborn rebels who refuse to pay attention to the Lord’s instructions.

Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.
