Isaiah 43:25–28

25 “I, even I, am he who blots out

your transgressions, for my own sake,

and remembers your sins no more.

26 Review the past for me,

let us argue the matter together;

state the case for your innocence.

27 Your first father sinned;

those I sent to teach you rebelled against me.

28 So I disgraced the dignitaries of your temple;

I consigned Jacob to destruction

and Israel to scorn.

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.

25 “I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake

and will never think of them again.

26 Let us review the situation together,

and you can present your case to prove your innocence.

27 From the very beginning, your first ancestor sinned against me;

all your leaders broke my laws.

28 That is why I have disgraced your priests;

I have decreed complete destruction for Jacob

and shame for Israel.

25 “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake;

And I will not remember your sins.

26 Put Me in remembrance;

Let us contend together;

State your case, that you may be acquitted.

27 Your first father sinned,

And your mediators have transgressed against Me.

28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary;

I will give Jacob to the curse,

And Israel to reproaches.

25 “I, I am the One who erases all your sins, for my sake;

I will not remember your sins.

26 But you should remind me.

Let’s meet and decide what is right.

Tell what you have done and show you are right.

27 Your first father sinned,

and your leaders have turned against me.

28 So I will make your holy rulers unholy.

I will bring destruction on the people of Jacob,

and I will let Israel be insulted.”

25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins. 26 Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth thy cause, that thou mayest be justified. 27 Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. 28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.

25 —I, I am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and I will not remember thy sins. 26 Put me in remembrance, let us plead together; rehearse thine own cause, that thou mayest be justified. 27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy mediators have rebelled against me. 28 And I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the ban, and Israel to reproaches.

25 I alone am the one who is going to wipe away your rebellious actions 

for my own sake. 

I will not remember your sins ⸤anymore⸥. 

26 Remind me ⸤of what happened⸥. 

Let us argue our case together. 

State your case so that you can prove you are right. 

27 Your first ancestor sinned, 

and your priests rebelled against me. 

28 That is why I will corrupt the leaders of the holy place. 

I will claim Jacob for destruction. 

I will set up Israel for ridicule. 

25 “It is I who sweep away your transgressions

for My own sake

and remember your sins no more.

26 Take Me to court; let us argue our case together.

State your case, so that you may be vindicated.

27 Your first father sinned,

and your mediators have rebelled against Me.

28 So I defiled the officers of the sanctuary,

and set Jacob apart for destruction

and Israel for abuse.

25 I alone am the one

who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,

and I will not remember your sins.

26 Accuse me; let us go to trial;

set forth your case, so that you may be proved right.

27 Your first ancestor sinned,

and your mediators rebelled against me.

28 Therefore I profaned the princes of the sanctuary;

I delivered Jacob to utter destruction

and Israel to reviling.

25 I, I am the one who blots out your transgressions for my sake,

and I will not remember your sins.

26 Take me to court; let us enter into judgment together.

You, make an account so that you may be in the right.

27 Your first ancestor sinned,

and your representatives transgressed against me.

28 And I profaned the princes of the sanctuary,

and I gave Jacob to destruction, and Israel to reviling.

25 “I am the one who wipes out your lawless acts.

I do it because of who I am.

I will not remember your sins anymore.

26 But let us go to court together.

Remind me of what you have done.

State your case.

Prove to me that you are not guilty.

27 Your father Jacob sinned.

Your priests and prophets refused to obey me.

28 So I will put the high officials of your temple to shame.

I will let Jacob’s family be totally destroyed.

And I will let people make fun of Israel.

25 “I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake,

And I will not remember your sins.

26 “Put Me in remembrance, let us argue our case together;

State your cause, that you may be proved right.

27 “Your first forefather sinned,

And your spokesmen have transgressed against Me.

28 “So I will pollute the princes of the sanctuary,

And I will consign Jacob to the ban and Israel to revilement.
