Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

The verse 16 is found in chapter 6 of Jeremiah. The people have lost the ability to hear the word because their hearts are closed. The phrase “peace, peace” denounces a false tranquility offered by leaders who do not want to confront the wound. The ancient paths are presented as a good way, but the community refuses to walk in them.

So spricht der HERR: Tretet auf die Wege und schauet und fraget nach den vorigen Wegen, welches der gute Weg sei, und wandelt darin, so werdet ihr Ruhe finden für eure Seele! Aber sie sprechen: Wir wollen's nicht tun!
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.
Así dice Jehová: «Deténganse en los caminos y miren; pregunten por las sendas antiguas, dónde está el buen camino, y anden por él. Así encontrarán descanso para sus almas. Pero dijeron: “No andaremos por él”.
Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Placez-vous sur les chemins, regardez, Et demandez quels sont les anciens sentiers, Quelle est la bonne voie; marchez-y, Et vous trouverez le repos de vos âmes! Mais ils répondent: Nous n'y marcherons pas.
Il Signore avea detto così: Fermatevi in su le vie, e riguardate; e domandate de’ sentieri antichi, per saper quale è la buona strada, e camminate per essa; e voi troverete riposo all’anima vostra. Ma essi han detto: Noi non vi cammineremo.
Assim diz o SENHOR: Ponde-vos nos caminhos, e vede, e perguntai pelas veredas antigas, qual é o bom caminho, e andai por ele; e achareis descanso para as vossas almas; mas eles dizem: Não andaremos nele.
耶和華如此說: 「你們當站在路邊察看, 尋訪古老的路, 哪裏是完善的道路,就行走在其上; 這樣,你們自己必找到安息。 他們卻說:『我們不走。』
