20. Incense that comes from Sheba is no good to me.Sugar cane that comes from a distant land is no good to me.I won’t accept your burnt offerings.I’m not pleased with your sacrifices.
21. This is what the Lord says:I’m going to lay stumbling blocks in front of these people.Parents and children will stumble over them.Neighbors and their friends will die.
22. This is what the Lord says:An army is going to come from the north.A great nation is preparing itself in the distant parts of the earth.
