Isaiah 1:11-15

^{Tools

“What are all your sacrifices to Me?”
asks the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams
and the fat of well-fed cattle;
I have no desire for the blood of bulls,
lambs, or male goats.^(A)

When you come to appear before Me,
who requires this from you—
this trampling of My courts?

^{Tools
13}

Stop bringing useless offerings.^(B)
Your incense is detestable to Me.
New Moons and Sabbaths,^(C)
and the calling of solemn assemblies^(D)—
I cannot stand iniquity^(E) with a festival.

^{Tools
14}

I hate your New Moons and prescribed festivals.
They have become a burden to Me;
I am tired of putting up with them.

^{Tools
15}

When you lift up your hands in prayer,^(F)
I will refuse to look at you;
even if you offer countless prayers,
I will not listen.^(G)
Your hands are covered with blood.^(H)
