Crossroads

That is what has been on my mind today. Not sure why but it has.

So, I looked it up and this is what I found :

Main Entry: crossroad !kros-+rOd
Pronunciation: \ ˈkrȯs-ˌrōd also -ˈrōd \

Results

2.usually plural but singular or plural in constructiona. athe place of intersection of two or more roadsb (1). b (1)a small community located at such a crossroads(2). (2)a central meeting place.
a crucial point especially where a decision must be made


So then I went and looked it up online at: Bible Gateway

Jeremiah 6:16This 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.'

What? WHY?
