Isaiah 43:21-28

New Living Translation NLT

21 I have made Israel for myself, and they will someday honor me before the whole world.

22 “But, dear family of Jacob, you refuse to ask for my help. You have grown tired of me, O Israel!

23 You have not brought me sheep or goats for burnt offerings. You have not honored me with sacrifices, though I have not burdened and wearied you with requests for grain offerings and frankincense.

24 You have not brought me fragrant calamus or pleased me with the fat from sacrifices. Instead, you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your faults.

25 “I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again.

26 Let us review the situation together, and you can present your case to prove your innocence.

27 From the very beginning, your first ancestor sinned against me; all your leaders broke my laws.

28 That is why I have disgraced your priests; I have decreed complete destruction for Jacob and shame for Israel.

New International Version NIV

21 the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.

22 “Yet you have not called on me, Jacob, you have not wearied yourselves for me, Israel.

23 You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with grain offerings nor wearied you with demands for incense.

24 You have not bought any fragrant calamus for me, or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your offenses.

25 “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.

26 Review the past for me, let us argue the matter together; state the case for your innocence.

27 Your first father sinned; those I sent to teach you rebelled against me.

28 So I disgraced the dignitaries of your temple; I consigned Jacob to destruction and Israel to scorn.
