Jeremiah 6:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁰ “Why do you bring me incense from the country of Sheba^[a]?
    Why do you bring me sweet-smelling cane from a faraway country?
Your burnt offerings don’t make me happy.
    Your sacrifices don’t please me.”

²¹ So this is what the Lord says:
“I will give the people of Judah problems.
    They will be like stones that make people fall.
Fathers and sons will stumble over them.
    Friends and neighbors will die.”
