What would I want with incense brought in from Sheba,

rare spices from exotic places?

Your burnt sacrifices in worship give me no pleasure.

Your religious rituals mean nothing to me.”

Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,

nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.

Keep your fragrant calamus imported from distant lands!

Your sacrifices have no pleasing aroma for me.”

your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”

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.
