    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)

    and remembers your sins^(O) no more.^(P)
26 Review the past for me,
    let us argue the matter together;^(Q)
    state the case^(R) for your innocence.
