Ibn Ezra, on Isa 43:24

Ibn Ezra · 1089–1167
Isa 43:24 · Douay-Rheims
“Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy victims. But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.”
On this verse:
“קנה בשם═קנה Sweet cane (Ex. 30:23). וחלב זבחיך And with the fat of thy sacrifices, of thy sin offerings. Supply the preposition ב with before חלב fat; comp. בששת═ששת in six (Ex. 20:11). But thou hast made me to serve. This is an anthropomorphism. Through thy sins I was considered by the nations as a slave that has no authority; the same idea is contained in the words which follow: Thou hast wearied me, etc.”
