Isaiah 1:12-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 When you come to appear before me,[a]
who asked this from your hand?
Trample my courts no more!(A)
13 Bringing offerings is futile;
incense is an abomination to me.
New moon and Sabbath and calling of convocation—
I cannot endure solemn assemblies with iniquity.(B)
14 Your new moons and your appointed festivals
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.(C)
15 When you stretch out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
your hands are full of blood.(D)
16 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
remove your evil deeds
from before my eyes;
cease to do evil;(E)
17 learn to do good;
seek justice;
rescue the oppressed;
defend the orphan;
plead for the widow.(F)
