19 (A)Hear, O earth!
Behold, I will certainly bring (B)calamity on this people—
(C)The fruit of their thoughts,
Because they have not heeded My words
Nor My law, but rejected it.
20 (D)For what purpose to Me
Comes frankincense (E)from Sheba,
And (F)sweet cane from a far country?
(G)Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,
Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me.”

21 Therefore thus says the Lord:

“Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people,
And the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them.
The neighbor and his friend shall perish.”
