Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and (C)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.

My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.

Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.

Plead for the widow.

19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
(L)For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
