Isaiah 1:10-15

10 Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of f, gSodom!
Give ear to the teaching
Or law
of our God,
you people of iGomorrah!
11 jWhat to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
12 “When you come to kappear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
lNew moon and Sabbath and the mcalling of convocations
I cannot endure niniquity and osolemn assembly.
14Your pnew moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15When you qspread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
reven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
syour hands are full of blood.
