Jeremiah 6:20
The sweet cane - The same as the scented cane of Exodus 30:23 (see the note).
Your burnt offerings - The rejection of ritual observances is proclaimed by the two prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, who chiefly assisted the two pious kings, Hezekiah and Josiah, in restoring the temple-service. God rejects not the ceremonial service, but the substitution of it for personal holiness and morality. Compare I Samuel 15:22; Isaiah 1:11; Micah 6:6-8.
