the people whom I formed for myself, so they might praise me.”
The Lord Rebukes His People“But you did not call for me, O Jacob; you did not long for me, O Israel.
You did not bring me lambs for your burnt offerings; you did not honor me with your sacrifices. I did not burden you with offerings; I did not make you weary by demanding incense.
You did not buy me aromatic reeds; you did not present to me the fat of your sacrifices. Yet you burdened me with your sins; you made me weary with your evil deeds.
I, I am the one who blots out your rebellious deeds for my sake; your sins I do not remember.
Remind me of what happened! Let’s debate! You, prove to me that you are right!
