Isaiah 43:24

²² But you have not called on Me, O Jacob, because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.

²³ You have not brought Me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.

You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver, nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

²⁵ I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.

²⁶ Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
