Jeremiah 6:21
Berean Standard Bible
Therefore this is what the LORD says: “I will lay stumbling blocks before this people; fathers and sons alike will be staggered; friends and neighbors will perish.”
Context
19Hear, O earth! I am bringing disaster on this people,
the fruit of their own schemes,
because they have paid no attention to My word
and have rejected My instruction. 20What use to Me is frankincense from Sheba
or sweet cane from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;
your sacrifices do not please Me.” 21Therefore this is what the LORD says:
“I will lay stumbling blocks before this people;
fathers and sons alike will be staggered;
friends and neighbors will perish.” 22This is what the LORD says:
“Behold, an army is coming
from the land of the north;
a great nation is stirred up
from the ends of the earth. 23They grasp the bow and spear;*
they are cruel and merciless.
Their voice roars like the sea,
and they ride upon horses,
lined up like men in formation
against you, O Daughter of Zion.”
