22. But you have not called upon me, O Jacob, nor have you struggled for me, O Israel.
23. You have not offered me the ram of your holocaust, and you have not glorified me with your victims. I have not burdened you with oblations, nor have I wearied you with incense.
24. You have bought me no sweet cane with money, and you have not inebriated me with the fat of your victims. Yet truly, you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities.
25. I am. I am the very One who wipes away your iniquities for my own sake. And I will not remember your sins.
26. Call me to mind, and let us go to judgment together. If you have anything to justify yourself, explain it.
27. Your first father sinned, and your interpreters have betrayed me.
