22 “But, Jacob, you have not called on me,
because, Israel, you have become weary of me.(A)
23 You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings
or honored me with your sacrifices.(B)
I have not burdened you with offerings
or wearied you with incense.[a]
24 You have not bought me aromatic cane with silver,
or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins;
you have wearied me(C) with your iniquities.(D)

25 “I am the one,I sweep away your transgressions(E)
for my own sake(F)
and remember your sins no more.(G)
26 Remind me. Let’s argue the case together.(H)
Recount the facts, so that you may be vindicated.
27 Your first father sinned,(I)
and your mediators have rebelled against me.(J)
28 So I defiled the officers of the sanctuary,
and set Jacob apart for destruction(K)
and Israel for scorn.
