Jeremiah 6:20 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Sheba — A country in Arabia Faelix, to which country frankincense was peculiar. The sweet cane — The same that is mentioned as an ingredient in the holy oil, Exodus 30:23. To what purpose art thou at this trouble and charge to fetch these ingredients for thy incense.

Jeremiah 6:20

20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
