21 This people I have formed for Myself;they shall declare My praise.
22 But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob;but you have been weary of Me, O Israel.
23 You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings,nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices.I have not burdened you with offerings,nor wearied you with incense.
24 You have bought Me no sweet cane with money,nor have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices;but you have made Me burdened with your sins;you have wearied Me with your iniquities.
25 I, even I, am He who blots outyour transgressions for My own sake,and will not remember your sins.
26 Put Me in remembrance;let us plead together;state your cause, that you may be justified.
27 Your first father has sinned,and your teachers have transgressed against Me.
