Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

The verse 17 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.

Ich habe Wächter über dich gesetzt: Merket auf die Stimme der Drommete! Aber sie sprechen: Wir wollen's nicht tun!
Desperté también sobre vosotros atalayas, que dijesen: Escuchad a la voz de la trompeta. Y dijeron ellos: No escucharemos.
Puse centinelas sobre ustedes: “¡Presten atención al sonido de la trompeta!”. Pero dijeron: “No prestaremos atención”.
J'ai mis près de vous des sentinelles: Soyez attentifs au son de la trompette! Mais ils répondent: Nous n'y serons pas attentifs.
Oltre a ciò, io avea costituite sopra voi delle guardie, che dicessero: Attendete al suon della tromba. Ma essi hanno detto: Noi non vi attenderemo
Também pus atalaias sobre vós, dizendo: Estai atentos ao som da trombeta; mas dizem: Não escutaremos.
我為你們設立守望的人, 要留心聽角聲。 他們卻說:『我們不聽。』
