Jeremiah 6, verse 16
Source: Bible New International Version
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
16 خداوند یوں فرماتا ہے:
“چوراہوں پر کھڑے رہو اور دیکھو۔
معلوم کرو کہ پُرانی سڑک کون سی ہے؟
اس اچھی سڑک پر جا ؤ۔
اگر تم ایسا کرو گے تو تمہیں آرام ملے گا۔
لیکن تم لوگوں نے کہا ہے،
’ہم اچھی سڑک پر نہیں جا ئیں گے۔‘
My point of view about above verses
God told people of Benjamin flee for safety as disaster is coming from north to destroy Zion – Shepherds along their flocks pitch their tents to get their portion
God told others are preparing to battle against her(Jerusalem) – and destroy her fortresses
God told cut down the trees and build siege against Jerusalem – the city must be punished as it is filled with cruelty
God says as well pours out its water so Jerusalem pours out her wickedness – violence and destruction surrounds her
God said take warning Jerusalem I will make your land desolate so no one can live in it
Let them gather the remnant of Israel as grapes are gathered from vine
Jeremiah says no body cares about God's wrath which is about to come on young and old both
God told tell my words to children in street and on young man gathered, husband and wife and old people their houses will be turned over to other together with their fields and wives – when I stretch out my hand against those who live in landGod said they all are greedy for gain even prophets and priest alike – all practice deceit
They say to my wounded people there is peace although there is no peace
God said they are not ashamed of their detestable conduct – so they will fell – I will punish them
Stand at the crossroads and look for ancient paths – ask where the good way is and walk in it – and you will find rest for your soulsMay God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this word and prophets - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
