24. You didn't buy incense for meor satisfy me with the fat of your animals.Instead you burdened me with your sins;you wore me out with the wrongs you committed.
25. And yet, I am the God who forgives your sins,and I do this because of who I am.I will not hold your sins against you.
26. “Let us go to court; bring your accusation!Present your case to prove you are in the right!
27. Your earliest ancestor sinned;your leaders sinned against me,
28. and your rulers profaned my sanctuary.So I brought destruction on Israel;I let my own people be insulted.”
