Strongs On/Off
Context
43:20 The wild animals of the desert honor me, the jackals and ostriches , because I put water in the desert and streams in the wilderness , to quench the thirst of my chosen people ,
43:21 the people whom I formed for myself, so they might praise me.”
The Lord Rebukes His People
43:22 “But you did not call for me, O Jacob ; you did not long for me, O Israel .
43:23 You did not bring me lambs for your burnt offerings ; you did not honor me with your sacrifices . I did not burden you with offerings ; I did not make you weary by demanding incense .
43:24 You did not buy me aromatic reeds ; you did not present to me the fat of your sacrifices . Yet you burdened me with your sins ; you made me weary with your evil deeds .
43:25 I , I am the one who blots out your rebellious deeds for my sake ; your sins I do not remember .
43:26 Remind me of what happened! Let’s debate ! You , prove to me that you are right !
43:27 The father of your nation sinned ; your spokesmen rebelled against me.
43:28 So I defiled your holy princes , and handed Jacob over to destruction , and subjected Israel to humiliating abuse .”
