Isaías 43:22 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 43:22

But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob
The Jews, though they were the posterity of Jacob, a praying person, yet did not tread in his steps, but were more like the Heathens that called not on the name of the Lord; though there is no necessity of restraining this to prayer, it may regard the whole worship of God, which is sometimes included in the invocation of his name; and so the Targum,

``and ye come not to my worship, O ye of the house of Jacob.''

The Jews, in Christ's time, did not call upon his name, nor believe in him, nor receive his Gospel, nor submit to him and his ordinances; they rejected him and his service, therefore the Lord rejected them, and called the Gentiles, as before prophesied of: but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel:
of the word, worship, and ordinances of God; see ( Malachi 1:13 ) ( Amos 8:5 ) .

Isaías 43:22 In-Context

20 Me honran los animales salvajes,los chacales y los avestruces;yo hago brotar agua en el desierto,ríos en lugares desolados,para dar de beber a mi pueblo escogido,

21 al pueblo que formé para mí mismo,para que proclame mi alabanza.

22 »Pero tú, Jacob, no me has invocado;tú, Israel, te has cansado de mí.

23 No me has traído el cordero de tus holocaustos,ni me has honrado con tus sacrificios.No te he abrumado exigiendo ofrendas de grano,ni te he agobiado reclamando incienso.

24 No me has comprado caña aromática,ni me has saciado con el sebo de tus sacrificios.¡En cambio, tú me has abrumado con tus pecadosy me has agobiado con tus iniquidades!
