²⁰ Why do you bring me offerings of ·incense [frankincense] from the land of Sheba [^Cunknown location, perhaps present-day Yemen, Eritrea, or Ethiopia; see 1 Kin. 10:1–13]?
    Why do you bring me sweet-smelling cane from a faraway land?
Your burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–7] will not be accepted;
    your sacrifices do not please me [Ps. 40:6–8; Mic. 6:6–8].”
²¹ So this is what the Lord says:
“I will put stumbling blocks [^Cproblems] in front of this people [^CJudah].
    Fathers and sons will stumble over them together.
    Neighbors and friends will ·die [perish].”
²² This is what the Lord says:
“Look, an ·army [people] is coming
    from the land of the north [^CBabylon];
a great nation is ·coming [^Lstirred up]
    from the far sides of the earth.
