Isaiah 1:11-14
Contemporary English Version
11 (A) “Your sacrifices
mean nothing to me.
I am sick of your offerings
of rams and choice cattle;
I don't like the blood
of bulls or lambs or goats.
12 “Who asked you to bring all this
when you come to worship me?
Stay out of my temple!
13 Your sacrifices are worthless,
and your incense disgusting.
I can't stand the evil you do
on your New Moon Festivals
or on your Sabbaths
and other times of worship.
14 I hate your New Moon Festivals
and all others as well.
They are a heavy burden
I am tired of carrying.
Isaiah 1:11-14
New International Version
11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;(A)
I have no pleasure(B)
in the blood of bulls(C) and lambs and goats.(D)
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,(E)
this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!(F)
Your incense(G) is detestable(H) to me.
New Moons,(I) Sabbaths and convocations(J)—
I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
14 Your New Moon(K) feasts and your appointed festivals(L)
I hate with all my being.(M)
They have become a burden to me;(N)
I am weary(O) of bearing them.
