Bible in Basic English
I, even I, am he who takes away your sins; and I will no longer keep your evil doings in mind.
Put me in mind of this; let us take up the cause between us: put forward your cause, so that you may be seen to be in the right.
Your first father was a sinner, and your guides have gone against my word.
Your chiefs have made my holy place unclean, so I have made Jacob a curse, and Israel a thing of shame.
— Isaiah 43:25-1964, Bible in Basic English
“I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches. ”
But you have made no prayer to me, O Jacob: and you have given no thought to me, O Israel.
You have not made me burned offerings of sheep, or given me honour with your offerings of beasts; I did not make you servants to give me an offering, and I did not make you tired with requests for perfumes.
You have not got me sweet-smelling plants with your money, or given me pleasure with the fat of your offerings: but you have made me a servant to your sins, and you have made me tired with your evil doings.
I, even I, am he who takes away your sins; and I will no longer keep your evil doings in mind.
Put me in mind of this; let us take up the cause between us: put forward your cause, so that you may be seen to be in the right.
Your first father was a sinner, and your guides have gone against my word.
Your chiefs have made my holy place unclean, so I have made Jacob a curse, and Israel a thing of shame.
