19 Hear, O earth; behold, I am bringing disaster upon this people,
    (A)the fruit of their devices,
because they have not paid attention to my words;
    and as for my law, they have rejected it.
20 (B)What use to me is (C)frankincense that comes from (D)Sheba,
    or sweet cane from a distant land?
(E)Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,
    nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.
21 Therefore thus says the Lord:
(F)‘Behold, I will lay before this people
    stumbling blocks against which they shall stumble;
fathers and sons together,
    neighbor and friend shall perish.’”
