Isaiah 43:23-24 You have not brought me the small cattle of your burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices… In one of those antithetical clauses, or "balances of words," so frequent in Isaiah, He thus contrasts His own and His people's doings (ver. 23): "I have not burdened thee in exacting oblations; I have not wearied thee in demanding incense."... "But thou hast burdened Me with thy sins; thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities" (ver. 24). (J. R. Macduff, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. |
