Isaiah 43:26-28
Holman Christian Standard Bible
26 Take Me to court; let us argue our case together.(A)
State your case, so that you may be vindicated.
27 Your first father sinned,(B)
and your mediators have rebelled against Me.(C)
28 So I defiled the officers of the sanctuary,
and set Jacob apart for destruction(D)
and Israel for abuse.
Isaiah 43:26-28
New Living Translation
26 Let us review the situation together,
and you can present your case to prove your innocence.
27 From the very beginning, your first ancestor sinned against me;
all your leaders broke my laws.
28 That is why I have disgraced your priests;
I have decreed complete destruction[a] for Jacob
and shame for Israel.
