Jeremiah 6:19 Context
17Also I set watchmen ouer you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet: but they said, We wil not hearken. 18¶ Therefore heare ye nations, and know, O Congregation what is among them. 19Heare, O earth, behold, I will bring euill vpon this people, euen the fruit of their thoughts, because they haue not hearkened vnto my wordes, nor to my law, but reiected it. 20To what purpose cōmeth there to me incense from Sheba? and the sweet cane from a farre countrey? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet vnto me. 21Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay stumbling blockes before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall vpon them: the neighbor and his friend shall perish.
