Scripture focus

22. But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. 23. 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. 24. Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. 25. I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 26. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. 27. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. 28. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Commentary on Isaiah 43:22

Theological / Devotional

Weary of me. Without the care and blessing of God Israel would never have become a nation (v. 21), but the people did not appreciate what God had done for them (see Deut. 6:10-12; 8:7-18; Isa. 5:1-7; Eze. 16:15; Hosea 2:5-9). They became absorbed in the things of earth and ceased to have an interest in the things of God.
