12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain offerings to me; their savour is an abomination to me; in the new moons and sabbaths, you call an assembly; I do not eat that which is obtained wrongfully, and taken by force. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they are a burden to me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do good; seek justice, do good to the oppressed, plead for the fatherless, plead for the widows. Isaiah 1:12-17, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
