19 Hear, O earth; I am going to bring disaster on this people,
    the fruit of their schemes,
because they have not given heed to my words;
    and as for my teaching, they have rejected it.

    or sweet cane from a distant land?
Your burnt-offerings are not acceptable,

    stumbling-blocks against which they shall stumble;
parents and children together,
    neighbour and friend shall perish.
