Jeremiah 6:18-20
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what great things I will do to them.
19 Hear, O earth: Behold I will bring evils upon this people, the fruits of their own thoughts: because they have not heard my words, and they have cast away my law.
20 To what purpose do you bring me frankincense from Saba, and the sweet smelling cane from a far country? your holocausts are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.

and have rejected my law.(E)

or sweet calamus(G) from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;(H)
