or take my covenant on your lips?

Isaiah 1:11-15

11 fWhat 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 gappear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
hNew moon and Sabbath and the icalling of convocations
I cannot endure jiniquity and ksolemn assembly.
14Your lnew moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15When you mspread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
neven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
oyour hands are full of blood.

Isaiah 50:1

1 Thus says the Lord:
Where is pyour mother’s certificate of divorce,

Or rwhich of my creditors is it
to whom I have sold you?
sBehold, for your iniquities you were sold,
and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.

Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 15:1
