Isaiah 43:28
Verse 28 of 28. The 43rd of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.
24Thou 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.
25I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
26Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
27Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel an insult.”Read Isaiah 43:28 in the WEB
Matthew Henry on Isaiah 43:28
Here is a good reason given: they had neglected God and had cast him off, and therefore he justly rejected them and gave them to the curse (v. 28); and they must be brought to own this before they are prepared for deliverance; and they did so, Dan. ix. 5; Neh. ix. 33. 2. To advance God's mercy in their deliverance and to make that appear more glorious.
Read Matthew Henry on Isaiah 43:22–28: Reproof to God's People. (b. c. 708.)
