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 glorificarán las bestias del campo, los chacales y los avestruces, porque he puesto aguas en los desiertos y ríos en el yermo, para dar de beber a mi pueblo escogido.

21 El pueblo que yo he formado para mí proclamará mi alabanza.

22 Pero no me has invocado, Jacob, sino que te has cansado de mí, Israel.

23 No me has traído las ovejas de tus holocaustos, ni me has honrado con tus sacrificios. No te he abrumado exigiendo ofrendas, ni te he cansado exigiendo incienso.

24 No me has comprado con dinero caña aromática, ni con la grosura de tus sacrificios me has saciado; por el contrario me has abrumado con tus pecados, y me has cansado con tus iniquidades.
