22 “Family of Jacob, you have not prayed to me as you should.
    People of Israel, you have not worn yourselves out for me.
23 You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings.
    You have not honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not loaded you down
    by requiring grain offerings.
I have not made you tired
    by requiring you to burn incense.
24 But you have not bought any sweet-smelling cane for me.
    You have not given me the fattest parts
    of your animal sacrifices.
Instead, you have loaded me down with your sins.
    You have made me tired with the wrong things you have done.
