Context of Isaiah 43:24
22But you have not called on Me, O Jacob, because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel. 23You have not brought Me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense. You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver, nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities. 25I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more. 26Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24Thou hast bought me - You have not purchased this - implying that it was not produced in Palestine, but was an article of commerce.
