Jeremiah 6:20-22

Lexham English Bible

²⁰ What is this to me?
    Frankincense comes from Sheba,
and the precious spice reed from a distant land.
    Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,^[a]
    your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
²¹ Therefore^[b] thus says Yahweh:
    “Look, I am about to put before this people stumbling blocks,
and they will stumble against them,
    fathers and children together,
    neighbor and his friend will perish.”
²² Thus says Yahweh:
“Look, a people is coming from the land of the north,
    a great nation is woken up from the farthest part of the earth.
