Isaiah 1:11-15 ▼

11 “What are all your sacrifices to me? ” asks the LORD. “I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I have no desire for the blood of bulls, lambs, or male goats.

12 When you come to appear before me, who requires this from you — this trampling of my courts?

13 Stop bringing useless offerings. Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons and Sabbaths, and the calling of solemn assemblies — I cannot stand iniquity with a festival.

14 I hate your New Moons and prescribed festivals. They have become a burden to me; I am tired of putting up with them.

15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will refuse to look at you; even if you offer countless prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.
