Jeremiah 6:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ So listen, all you nations,
    and ·pay attention [^Lknow], you ·witnesses [assembly].
    Watch what I will do to them [^Cthe people of Judah].
¹⁹ Hear this, people of the earth:
    I am going to bring ·disaster [trouble; evil] to this people [^Cof Judah]
    because of the ·evil they plan [^Lthe fruit of their plots].
They have not ·listened [paid attention] to my ·messages [words]
    and have rejected my ·teachings [laws; instructions].
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].”
