What does Jeremiah 6:16 mean?

This is what the Lord says: Stand at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, reliable paths. Ask where the good way is, and walk in it. That’s where you’ll find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We won’t go that way.' Jeremiah 6:16 - Modern Text Bible

(God is inviting people to return to the tried-and-true ways that lead to peace, but they stubbornly refuse.)
