Isaiah

²³Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not made thee to serve with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense. ²⁴Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. ²⁵I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins. ²⁶Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth thy cause, that thou mayest be justified. ²⁷Thy first father sinned, and thine interpreters have transgressed against me. ²⁸Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary, and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.
