Isaiah 43:22-28
New King James Version
Pleading with Unfaithful Israel
22 “But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob;
And you (A)have been weary of Me, O Israel.
23 (B)You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings,
Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices.
I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings,
Nor wearied you with incense.
24 You have bought Me no sweet cane with money,
Nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices;
But you have burdened Me with your sins,
You have (C)wearied Me with your iniquities.
25 “I, even I, am He who (D)blots out your transgressions (E)for My own sake;
(F)And I will not remember your sins.
26 Put Me in remembrance;
Let us contend together;
State your case, that you may be [a]acquitted.
27 Your first father sinned,
And your [b]mediators have transgressed against Me.
28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary;
(G)I will give Jacob to the curse,
And Israel to reproaches.
