Isaiah 43:23

Thou hast not brought in to me small cattle as thine ascending-offerings, Nor, with thy sacrifices, hast thou honoured me,—I have not oppressed thee with meal-offerings, Nor have I wearied thee with frankincense;

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

24Thou hast not bought for me with silver, fragrant calamus, Nor with the fat of thy sacrifices, hast thou sated me,—Thou hast done nothing but oppress me with thy sins, Thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
