Jeremiah 6:20-22
International Standard Version
20 What good is frankincense
that comes from Sheba[a] 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.”
The Invaders from the North
22 This is what the Lord says:
“Look, people are coming from a northern country.
A great nation is stirring from the ends of the earth.
