19 Listen, earth!
I am about to bring disaster on these people,
the fruit of their own plotting,(A)

or sweet cane(D) from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;

I am going to place stumbling blocks before these people;
fathers and sons together will stumble over them;(F)
friends and neighbors will also perish.
