Isaiah 43:24

Isaiah 43:24. Thou has bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices:

"I left thee to give or not to give, that thy free will might be seen in all thy deeds of love, but nothing has come of it. On the contrary."

Isaiah 43:24. But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

A solemn charge this, which God lays against his people. Now see the next verse and read it with wondering eyes.
