22 For thou Iacob wouldest not call vppon me, but thou haddest an vnlust towarde me O Israel.

23 Thou gauest me not thy beastes for burnt offerings, neither diddest honour me with sacrifices: I haue not ben chargeable vnto thee in offeringes, neither greeuous in incense.

24 Thou boughtest me no deare spice with thy money, neither powredst the fat of thy sacrifices vpon me: but thou hast laden me with thy sinnes, and weeried me with thy vngodlynesse.

25 Where as I yet, euen I am he onlye that for my owne selues sake do away thine offences, and forget thy sinnes, so that I wyll neuer thinke vpon them.

26 Put me now in remembraunce: for we wyl reason together, & shew what thou hast for thee to make thee righteous.

27 Thy first father offended sore, and thy rulers haue sinned against me:

28 Therefore I profaned or slue the princes of the sanctuarie, I dyd curse Iacob, and gaue Israel into reproofe.
