Jeremiah 6:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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)
21 Therefore, thus says the Lord:
See, I will place before this people
obstacles to trip them up;
Parents and children alike,
neighbors and friends shall perish.(C)

Jeremiah 6:19-21
New International Version
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)
21 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“I will put obstacles before this people.
Parents and children alike will stumble(K) over them;
neighbors and friends will perish.”
