Jeremiah 6:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ So pay attention, you nations.
    You are witnesses for me.
    Watch what will happen to my people.
¹⁹ Earth, pay attention.
    I am going to bring trouble on them.
    I will punish them because of the evil things they have done.
They have not listened to my words.
    They have said no to my law.
²⁰ What do I care about incense from the land of Sheba?
    Why should I bother with sweet-smelling cane from a land far away?
I do not accept your burnt offerings.
    Your sacrifices do not please me.”
