23. You did not bring me sheep for your burnt offerings,nor honor me with your sacrifices.I did not exact from you the service of offerings,nor weary you for frankincense.
24. You did not buy me sweet cane,nor did you fill me with the fat of your sacrifices;Instead, you burdened me with your sins,wearied me with your crimes.
25. It is I, I, who wipe out,for my own sake, your offenses;your sins I remember no more.
26. Would you have me remember, have us come to trial?Speak up, prove your innocence!
27. Your first father sinned;your spokesmen rebelled against me
28. Till I repudiated the holy princes,put Jacob under the ban,exposed Israel to scorn.
