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.
