Isaiah 43:23

Despite The People Of Israel's Past Sin, The Lord Will Forgive Them

²² “But Jacob, you have not called on Me,
because, Israel, you have become weary of Me.
²³ You have not brought Me your sheep for burnt offerings
or honored Me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings
or wearied you with incense.
²⁴ You have not bought Me aromatic cane with silver,
or satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened Me with your sins;
you have wearied Me with your iniquities.
