22 "Yet you have not called upon me, O Jacob, 22 you have not wearied yourselves for me, O Israel.
23 You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings, 23 nor honored me with your sacrifices. 23 I have not burdened you with grain offerings 23 nor wearied you with demands for incense.
24 You have not bought any fragrant calamus for me, 24 or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices. 24 But you have burdened me with your sins 24 and wearied me with your offenses.
25 "I, even I, am he who blots out 25 your transgressions, for my own sake, 25 and remembers your sins no more.
26 Review the past for me, 26 let us argue the matter together; 26 state the case for your innocence.
27 Your first father sinned; 27 your spokesmen rebelled against me.
28 So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple, 28 and I will consign Jacob to destruction[a], often by totally destroying them. 28 and Israel to scorn.
