Geremia 6:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 6:20

To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba
In Persia or Arabia, from whence incense was brought, and perhaps the best; see ( Isaiah 60:6 ) , and yet the offering of this was of no esteem with God, when the words of the prophet, and the law of his mouth, were despised; see ( Isaiah 1:13 ) : and the sweet cane from a far country?
either from the same place, Sheba, which was a country afar off, ( Joel 3:8 ) , or from India, as Jerom interprets it; this was one of the spices in the anointing oil, ( Exodus 30:23 ) and though this was of divine appointment, and an omission of it is complained of, ( Isaiah 43:24 ) yet when this was brought with a hypocritical heart, and to atone for neglects of the moral law, and sins committed against that, it was rejected by the Lord: your burnt, offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet
unto me:
being offered up with a wicked mind, and without faith in Christ, and in order to expiate the guilt of black crimes unrepented of, and continued in; they were not grateful to God, nor could he smell a sweet savour in them, but loathed and abhorred them; see ( Isaiah 1:11 ) .

18 Perciò, ascoltate, o nazioni! Sappiate, o assemblea de’ popoli, quello che avverrà loro.
19 Ascolta, o terra! Ecco, io fo venire su questo popolo una calamità, frutto de’ loro pensieri; perché non hanno prestato attenzione alle mie parole; e quanto alla mia legge, l’hanno rigettata.
20 Che m’importa dell’incenso che viene da Seba, della canna odorosa che vien dal paese lontano? I vostri olocausti non mi sono graditi, e i vostri sacrifizi non mi piacciono.
21 Perciò così parla l’Eterno: Ecco, io porrò dinanzi a questo popolo delle pietre d’intoppo, nelle quali inciamperanno assieme padri e figliuoli, vicini ed amici, e periranno.
22 Così parla l’Eterno: Ecco, un popolo viene dal paese di settentrione, e una grande nazione si muove dalle estremità della terra.
