(Isaiah 43:22-25)
The Lord says, “But you were tired of me, Israel;
you did not worship me.
You did not bring me your burnt offerings of sheep;
you did not honor me with your sacrifices.
I did not burden you by demanding offerings
or wear you out by asking for incense.
You didn’t buy incense for me or satisfy
me with the fat of your animals.
Instead you burdened me with your sins;
you wore me out with the wrongs you have committed.
And yet, I am the God who forgives your sins,
and I do this because of who I am.
I will not hold your sins against you.
