Jeremiah 6:19-21

International Standard Version

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.^[a]
20 What good is frankincense
    that comes from Sheba^[b] to me,
        or sweet cane from a distant country?
Your burnt offerings aren’t acceptable,
    nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.”
²¹ Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
“I’m about to put stumbling blocks in front of this people,
    and fathers and sons will stumble over them together.
        The neighbor and his friends will perish.”
