Isaiah 43:24

Thou 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.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

In Context

25I—I, am he that is ready, To wipe out thy transgressions for mine own sake,—And, thy sins, not remember.
