Ask about the ancient paths,^(A)
‘Which is the way to what is good? ’

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 raised road.
