Isaiah 43:26

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

²⁵ “It is I who sweep away your transgressions
for My own sake
and remember your sins no more.
²⁶ Take Me to court; let us argue our case together.
State your case, so that you may be vindicated.
²⁷ Your first father sinned,
and your mediators have rebelled against Me.

Enter into Judgment

Let Us
