18 Therefore[a] hear, O nations, and know, O community,
    what will happen to them.[b]
19 Hear, O earth,
    look, I am about to bring disaster to this people,
    the fruit of their plans,
because they have not listened attentively to my words,
    and my teaching, they have rejected it also.

and the precious spice reed from a distant land.
    Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,[c]
    your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
