Isaiah 43:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ You did not bring me your burnt offerings of sheep;
    you did not honor me with your sacrifices.
I did not burden you by demanding offerings
    or wear you out by asking for incense.
²⁴ You didn't buy incense for me
    or satisfy me with the fat of your animals.
Instead you burdened me with your sins;
    you wore me out with the wrongs you have 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.
