Jeremiah 6:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 Therefore hear, O nations,
and know, O earth,
what I will do with them:
19 See, I bring evil upon this people,
the fruit of their own schemes,
Because they did not pay attention to my words,
because they rejected my law.(A)
20 Of what use to me is incense that comes from Sheba,
or sweet cane from far-off lands?
Your burnt offerings find no favor with me,
your sacrifices do not please me.(B)
Jeremiah 6:18-20
New International Version
18 Therefore hear, you nations;
you who are witnesses,
observe what will happen to them.
19 Hear, you earth:(A)
I am bringing disaster(B) on this people,
the fruit of their schemes,(C)
because they have not listened to my words(D)
and have rejected my law.(E)
20 What do I care about incense from Sheba(F)
or sweet calamus(G) from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;(H)
your sacrifices(I) do not please me.”(J)
