Isaiah 43:24

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.

Thou hast bought me no sweet cane - for "sweet cane" (aromatic calamus) was not indigenous in Palestine, but had to be bought from foreign countries (). It was used among the Hebrews to make the sacred ointment (). It is often offered as a mark of hospitality.

Neither hast thou filled me - satiated me (). God deigns to use human language to adapt Himself to human modes of thought. Thou hast made me to serve - though "I have not caused thee to serve" ().

With thy sins. Our sin made the Son of God to become "a servant." He served to save us from servile bondage (; Hebrews 2:14).

Thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities - though I have "not wearied thee" (; see ).
