Isaiah 1:13-17 ▼

13 Bring your worthless offerings no longer, Incense is an abomination to Me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of convocation— I cannot endure wickedness and the solemn assembly.

14 My soul hates your new moon festivals and your appointed times, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.

15 So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Indeed, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.

16 “Wash yourselves, purify yourselves; Remove the evil of your deeds from before My eyes. Cease to do evil,

17 Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Execute justice for the orphan, Plead for the widow.
