Isaiah 43:22-28

The Message Bible MSG

22 "But you didn't pay a bit of attention to me, Jacob. You so quickly tired of me, Israel.

23 You wouldn't even bring sheep for offerings in worship. You couldn't be bothered with sacrifices. It wasn't that I asked that much from you. I didn't expect expensive presents.

24 But you didn't even do the minimum - so stingy with me, so closefisted. Yet you haven't been stingy with your sins. You've been plenty generous with them - and I'm fed up.

25 "But I, yes I, am the one who takes care of your sins - that's what I do. I don't keep a list of your sins.

26 "So, make your case against me. Let's have this out. Make your arguments. Prove you're in the right.

27 Your original ancestor started the sinning, and everyone since has joined in.

28 That's why I had to disqualify the Temple leaders, repudiate Jacob and discredit Israel.

New International Version NIV

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.
