Isaiah 43:22-24
EasyEnglish Bible
22 But you Israelites, Jacob's descendants,
you did not call to me to help you.
You became tired of serving me.
23 You did not bring sheep to me as burnt offerings.
You did not make sacrifices to me,
to show that you respect me.
I did not make it difficult for you,
when I asked you to bring offerings to me.
When I asked you to burn incense to worship me,
that should not have made you tired.
24 You did not buy any spices
to offer them to me.
You did not bring me the fat from your sacrifices
to make me happy.
Instead, you have made it difficult for me,
because of all your sins.
All the evil things that you do
have caused me to become very tired.
Isaiah 43:22-24

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)
