24. You have not broughtdelicious spices for meor given me the best partof your sacrificed animals.Instead, you burden me downwith your terrible sins.
25. But I wipe away your sinsbecause of who I am.And so, I will forgetthe wrongs you have done.
26. Meet me in court!State your case and provethat you are right.
27. Your earliest ancestorand all your leadersrebelled against me.
28. That's why I don't allowyour priests to serve me;I let Israel be destroyedand your people disgraced.
