Isaiah 43:22–28

²²But you have not called on Me, O Jacob,

because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.

²³You have not brought Me sheep for burnt offerings,

nor honored Me with your sacrifices.

I have not burdened you with offerings,

nor wearied you with frankincense.

²⁴You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver,

nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices.

But you have burdened Me with your sins;

you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

²⁵I, yes I, am He

who blots out your transgressions for My own sake

and remembers your sins no more.

²⁶Remind Me, let us argue the matter together.

State your case, so that you may be vindicated.

²⁷Your first father sinned,

and your spokesmen rebelled against Me.

²⁸So I will disgrace the princes of your sanctuary,

and I will devote Jacob to destruction^e and Israel to reproach.”
