Isaiah 1:10-15 - Israel's Corrupt Religion
10 Hear the word of LORD, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 11 What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says LORD. I have had enough of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts. And I do not delight in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he-goats. 12 When ye come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand--to trample my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations. Incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath, the calling of assemblies--I cannot bear iniquity and the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them. 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
