Jeremiah 6:20

Incense frown Sheba - Sheba was in Arabian famous for the best incense. It was situated towards the southern extremity of the peninsula of Arabia; and was, in respect of Judea, a far country.

And the sweet cane from a far country - The calamus aromaticus , which, when dried and pulverized, yields a very fine aromatic smell; see on Isaiah 43:24 ; (note). This was employed in making the holy anointing oil. See Exodus 30:23 .
