Isaiah 1:15

Israel's Corrupt Religion

¹⁴ Your new moons and your appointments my soul hated; they were for a burden upon me; I was wearied to lift up. ¹⁵ And in the spreading forth of your hands I will hide mine eyes from you.; also when ye shall multiply prayer I hear not: your hands were full of blood. ¹⁶ Wash ye, cleanse yourselves: turn away evil from your doings from before mine eyes; leave off the evil;
