Jeremiah 6:20-22

or sweet cane from a distant land?

nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.
21 Therefore thus says the Lord:

parents and children together,
neighbour and friend shall perish.
22 Thus says the Lord:
See, a people is coming from the land of the north,
a great nation is stirring from the farthest parts of the earth.

“I will put obstacles before this people.
Parents and children alike will stumble(F) over them;
neighbors and friends will perish.”
22 This is what the Lord says:
