Isaiah 1:15

Israel's Corrupt Religion

¹⁴ Your new moons and your appointed feasts, my soul, hateth, - They have become unto me a burden I am too weary to bear: ¹⁵ Even when ye spread forth your open palms, I hide mine eyes from you; Yea, though ye multiply prayers, I am not hearkening, - Your hands, with deeds of blood, are filled. ¹⁶ Wash you make you clean, Put away the wickedness of your doings from before mine eyes, - Cease to do evil.
