    you have not wearied^(A) yourselves for^[a] me, Israel.^(B)
23 You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings,^(C)
    nor honored^(D) me with your sacrifices.^(E)
I have not burdened^(F) you with grain offerings
    nor wearied you with demands^(G) for incense.^(H)
24 You have not bought any fragrant calamus^(I) for me,
    or lavished on me the fat^(J) of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins
    and wearied^(K) me with your offenses.^(L)

we all shrivel up like a leaf,^(C)
    and like the wind our sins sweep us away.^(D)
7 No one^(E) calls on your name^(F)
    or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden^(G) your face from us
    and have given us over^(H) to^[a] our sins.

¹¹     there is no one who understands;
    there is no one who seeks God.
