‏ Jeremiah 6:20

20. Literally, "To what purpose is this to Me, that incense cometh to Me?"

incense ... cane--(Is 43:24; 60:6). No external services are accepted by God without obedience of the heart and life (Jr 7:21; Psa 50:7-9; Is 1:11; Mi 6:6, &c.).

sweet ... sweet--antithesis. Your sweet cane is not sweet to Me. The calamus.
