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.
Footnotes
- 43:28 The Hebrew term used here refers to the complete consecration of things or people to the Lord, either by destroying them or by giving them as an offering.
Isaiah 43:26-28
New American Standard Bible
26 [a]Meet Me in court, (A)let’s argue our case together;
State your cause, (B)so that you may be proved right.
27 Your (C)first [b]forefather sinned,
And your [c](D)spokesmen have rebelled against Me.
28 So I will profane the [d]officials of the sanctuary,
And I will turn Jacob over to (E)destruction and Israel to (F)abuse.
