Isaiah 1:13-15

The Wickedness of Judah

¹³ Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
_c New moon and Sabbath and the _d calling of convocations -
I cannot endure _e iniquity and _f solemn assembly.
¹⁴ Your _c new moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
¹⁵ When you _g spread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
_h even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
_i your hands are full of blood.
