22 But[a] you did not call me, Jacob;
    for you have become weary of me, Israel.
23 You have not brought me your sheep for a burnt offering
    nor[b] honored me with your sacrifice.
I have not made you serve with offerings,[c]
    nor have I made you weary with frankincense.
24 You have not bought me spice reed with money
    or[d] satisfied me with the fat of sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins;
    you have made me weary with your iniquities.
25 I, I am the one who blots out your transgressions for my sake,
    and I will not remember your sins.

23 You have not brought me sheep or goats for burnt offerings.
    You have not honored me with sacrifices,
though I have not burdened and wearied you
    with requests for grain offerings and frankincense.
24 You have not brought me fragrant calamus
    or pleased me with the fat from sacrifices.
Instead, you have burdened me with your sins
    and wearied me with your faults.

25 “I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake
    and will never think of them again.
