Comes frankincense bfrom Sheba,
And csweet cane from a far country?
dYour burnt offerings are not acceptable,
Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me.”
“Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people,
And the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them.
The neighbor and his friend shall perish.”
“Behold, a people comes from the anorth country,
And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.
They are cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice aroars like the sea;
And they ride on horses,
As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion.”
Our hands grow feeble.
aAnguish has taken hold of us,
Pain as of a woman in1 labor.
Nor walk by the way.
Because of the sword of the enemy,
Fear is on every side.
aDress in sackcloth
bAnd roll about in ashes!
cMake mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation;
For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.
| << Jeremiah 6:21 | Jeremiah 6:23 >> |
