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.

The verse 23 is found in chapter 43 of Isaiah. Future deliverance from Babylon is announced through the memory of the exodus: the God who opened a path through the sea will do something new in the wilderness. Yet Israel has not responded faithfully; it has burdened God with its sins. Restoration therefore rests on divine mercy rather than the people’s merits.

Mir hast du nicht gebracht Schafe deines Brandopfers noch mich geehrt mit deinen Opfern; mich hat deines Dienstes nicht gelüstet im Speisopfer, habe auch nicht Lust an deiner Arbeit im Weihrauch;
No me trajiste a mí los animales de tus holocaustos, ni a mí me honraste con tus sacrificios: no te hice servir con presente, ni te hice fatigar con perfume.
No me has traído las ovejas de tus holocaustos ni me has honrado con tus sacrificios. No te he abrumado con ofrendas de cereal ni te he cansado con incienso.
Tu ne m'as pas offert tes brebis en holocauste, Et tu ne m'as pas honoré par tes sacrifices; Je ne t'ai point tourmenté pour des offrandes, Et je ne t'ai point fatigué pour de l'encens.
Tu non m’hai presentate le pecore de’ tuoi olocausti, e non m’hai onorato co’ tuoi sacrificii; io non t’ho tenuto in servitù intorno ad offerte, nè faticato intorno ad incenso.
Não me trouxeste o gado miúdo dos teus holocaustos, nem me honraste com os teus sacrifícios; não te fiz servir com ofertas, nem te fatiguei com incenso.
你並沒有將你的羊帶來獻給我做燔祭, 也沒有用牲祭尊敬我; 我未曾因素祭使你操勞, 也沒有因乳香使你厭煩。
