Jeremiah 6:19-21
New Century Version
19 Hear this, people of the earth:
I am going to bring disaster to the people of Judah
because of the evil they plan.
They have not listened to my messages
and have rejected my teachings.
20 Why do you bring me offerings of incense from the land of Sheba?
Why do you bring me sweet-smelling cane from a faraway land?
Your burnt offerings will not be accepted;
your sacrifices do not please me.”
21 So this is what the Lord says:
“I will put problems in front of Judah.
Fathers and sons will stumble over them together.
Neighbors and friends will die.”
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.”
