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.
¿Para qué me traen incienso de Sabá y especias aromáticas de tierras lejanas? Sus holocaustos no me agradan, y sus sacrificios no me son dulces.
Dios rechaza los rituales y ofrendas externas cuando no van acompañados de obediencia sincera del corazón.
📚 Contexto Histórico

Sheba (modern-day Yemen/Ethiopia) was famous for producing costly incense and spices that were imported for temple worship, representing the most expensive religious offerings available.
