Stand by the roadways and look.
Ask about the ancient paths,^(A)
“Which is the way to what is good?”
Then take it
and find rest for yourselves.^(B)

¹⁵ Yet my people have forgotten me.^(A)
They burn incense to worthless idols
that make them stumble in their ways^(B)
on the ancient roads,^(C)
and make them walk on new paths, not the highway.
