18 So listen to me, all you nations.
    Look carefully!
    See what will happen to my people.
19 Hear me, all people on the earth.
    I will cause great trouble for my people.
I will punish them as a result of their wrong thoughts.
They have not listened to my messages.
    They have turned against my law.
20 They may offer to me sweet incense that comes from Sheba.
    But that does not please me.
The spices that they bring from lands far away
    do not please me either.
I will not accept the burnt offerings or other sacrifices
    that they offer to me.’

Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;(H)
    your sacrifices(I) do not please me.”(J)
