Sweet cane, or calamus, was a valuable and fragrant spice used in sacred anointing oil (<a href="/exodus/30-23.htm">Exodus 30:23</a>). Its mention here signifies the absence of heartfelt offerings. The Israelites were neglecting the true spirit of worship, focusing instead on ritual without sincerity. This reflects a broader biblical theme where God desires obedience and love over mere ritual (<a href="/1_samuel/15-22.htm">1 Samuel 15:22</a>, <a href="/hosea/6-6.htm">Hosea 6:6</a>).nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices The fat of sacrifices was considered the best part and was to be offered to God (<a href="/leviticus/3-16.htm">Leviticus 3:16</a>). This phrase indicates that the Israelites' offerings were insufficient and insincere. The sacrificial system was central to Israelite worship, symbolizing atonement and dedication to God. However, without genuine repentance and faith, these sacrifices were meaningless (<a href="/isaiah/1-11.htm">Isaiah 1:11-13</a>, <a href="/micah/6-6.htm">Micah 6:6-8</a>). This foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law and offered Himself as the perfect atonement for sin (<a href="/hebrews/10.htm">Hebrews 10:1-10</a>).But you have burdened Me with your sins Here, God expresses the weight of Israel's sins, which have become a burden to Him. This imagery conveys the seriousness of sin and its impact on the relationship between God and His people. Sin is often depicted as a burden in Scripture (<a href="/psalms/38-4.htm">Psalm 38:4</a>), and this phrase underscores the need for repentance and divine forgiveness. The burden of sin is ultimately lifted through Christ, who invites believers to find rest in Him (<a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28-30</a>).you have wearied Me with your iniquities The repetition of the idea of weariness emphasizes God's patience and long-suffering nature. Iniquities refer to moral corruption and injustice, which were prevalent among the Israelites. This weariness is not due to God's limitations but highlights His righteous indignation towards persistent disobedience. The prophetic literature often calls for repentance and a return to covenant faithfulness (<a href="/jeremiah/2-5.htm">Jeremiah 2:5</a>, <a href="/malachi/2-17.htm">Malachi 2:17</a>). This weariness is resolved in the New Testament through the redemptive work of Christ, who reconciles humanity to God (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-18.htm">2 Corinthians 5:18-19</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a> The speaker in this verse, expressing His disappointment with the Israelites' lack of genuine worship and their burdening Him with sin. 2. <a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a> The audience being addressed, who have failed to honor God with true devotion and have instead burdened Him with their sins. 3. <a href="/topical/s/sweet_cane.htm">Sweet Cane</a> A valuable spice used in offerings, symbolizing the Israelites' neglect in offering their best to God. 4. <a href="/topical/s/sacrifices.htm">Sacrifices</a> The ritual offerings that were meant to honor God, which the Israelites have failed to perform sincerely. 5. <a href="/topical/s/sins_and_iniquities.htm">Sins and Iniquities</a> The moral failures and transgressions of the Israelites that have wearied God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/true_worship_over_rituals.htm">True Worship Over Rituals</a> God desires genuine worship and devotion rather than mere ritualistic offerings.

"Sweet cane" is mentioned in the Law only in connection with the "holy anointing oil" (<a href="/exodus/30-23.htm">Exodus 30:23</a>). But the present passage raises a suspicion that it was practically used in the burnt offerings of private persons (see the next clause). That it was anciently used in Babylonia in sacrifice, appears from the Deluge Tablets ('Transactions of Society of Bibl. Archaeol.,' vol. 3. p. 559, 1. 48). But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins. "The sins of Israel," as Delitzsch observes, "pressed upon Jehovah, as a burthen does upon a servant." This is a part of the fundamental idea running through the third part of Isaiah, closely connected with the mediatorial office of the "Servant of the Lord," who "bare the sin of many" (<a href="/isaiah/53-12.htm">Isaiah 53:12</a>), and on whom "the Lord laid the iniquity of us all" (<a href="/isaiah/53-6.htm">Isaiah 53:6</a>). Israel, both during the Captivity and before, had accumulated a heavy load of sin, not merely by negligence, but by overt acts of guilt (see <a href="/isaiah/1-4.htm">Isaiah 1:4, 15, 21-23</a>, etc.). <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/43-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>You have bought קָנִ֨יתָ (qā·nî·ṯā) Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7069.htm">Strong's 7069: </a> To erect, create, to procure, by purchase, to own Me לִּ֤י (lî) Preposition | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> no לֹא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no sweet cane קָנֶ֔ה (qā·neh) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7070.htm">Strong's 7070: </a> A reed, a, rod, shaft, tube, stem, the radius, beam with [your] silver, בַכֶּ֙סֶף֙ (ḇak·ke·sep̄) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3701.htm">Strong's 3701: </a> Silver, money nor have you לֹ֣א (lō) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no satisfied Me הִרְוִיתָ֑נִי (hir·wî·ṯā·nî) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - second person masculine singular | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7301.htm">Strong's 7301: </a> To be saturated, drink one's fill with the fat וְחֵ֥לֶב (wə·ḥê·leḇ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2459.htm">Strong's 2459: </a> Fat, richest, choice part of your sacrifices. זְבָחֶ֖יךָ (zə·ḇā·ḥe·ḵā) Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2077.htm">Strong's 2077: </a> A slaughter, the flesh of an animal, a sacrifice But אַ֗ךְ (’aḵ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_389.htm">Strong's 389: </a> A particle of affirmation, surely you have burdened הֶעֱבַדְתַּ֙נִי֙ (he·‘ĕ·ḇaḏ·ta·nî) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - second person masculine singular | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5647.htm">Strong's 5647: </a> To work, to serve, till, enslave Me with your sins; בְּחַטֹּאותֶ֔יךָ (bə·ḥaṭ·ṭō·w·ṯe·ḵā) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine plural construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2403.htm">Strong's 2403: </a> An offence, its penalty, occasion, sacrifice, expiation, an offender you have wearied הוֹגַעְתַּ֖נִי (hō·w·ḡa‘·ta·nî) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - second person masculine singular | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3021.htm">Strong's 3021: </a> To gasp, to be exhausted, to tire, to toil Me with your iniquities. בַּעֲוֺנֹתֶֽיךָ׃ (ba·‘ă·wō·nō·ṯe·ḵā) Preposition-b | Noun - common plural construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5771.htm">Strong's 5771: </a> Iniquity, guilt, punishment for iniquity <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/43-24.htm">Isaiah 43:24 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/43-24.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 43:24 You have bought me no sweet cane (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/43-23.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 43:23"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 43:23" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/43-25.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 43:25"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 43:25" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
