11 “What to Me is the multitude of your⁺ sacrifices?” Says YHWH. “I have had my fill of burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of well-fed cattle, and in the blood of bulls and lambs and he-goats I take no delight. 12 When you⁺ come to appear before My face, who has sought this from your⁺ hand, to trample My courts? 13 You⁺ shall not add to bring an offering of worthlessness; incense, it is an abomination to Me, New Moons and Sabbaths and the calling of assemblies—I cannot endure iniquity, in a solemn assembly! 14 Your⁺ New Moons and your⁺ appointed feasts, My soul hates; they are to Me as a burden; I am weary of bearing them. 15 And in your⁺ spreading forth your⁺ hands, I will hide My eyes from you⁺; even though you⁺ multiply prayers, I will not be listening. Your⁺ hands are full of blood! 16 Wash, cleanse yourselves; turn aside the evil of your⁺ deeds from before My eyes. Cease to do evil. 17 Learn to do good, seek justice, rebuke the oppressor, bring justice for the fatherless, contend for the widow.” Isaiah 1:11-17, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
