Isaiah 43:28

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

27 Your first father sinned, and your spokesmen rebelled against Me.

So I will disgrace the princes of your sanctuary, and I will devote Jacob to destruction and Israel to reproach.”

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.
