Isaiah 1:15

Israel's Corrupt Religion

¹⁴ Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing them. ¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. ¹⁶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil,
