18 Therefore, hear, nations,
    and know, congregation,
        what will happen to them.[a]
19 Listen, earth!
    I’m about to bring calamity on this people,
        on the fruit of their plans,
because they didn’t listen to my words
    and they rejected my instruction.[b]

    that comes from Sheba[c] to me,
        or sweet cane from a distant country?
Your burnt offerings aren’t acceptable,
    nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.”
