¹⁵ “So when you ^(A)spread out your hands in prayer,
^(B)I will hide My eyes from you;
Yes, even though you ^(C)multiply prayers,
I will not listen.
^(D)Your hands are ^[a]covered with blood.

¹⁷ Zion ^(A)stretches out her hands;
There is no one to comfort her;
The Lord has ^(B)commanded concerning Jacob
That the ones round about him should be his adversaries;
^(C)Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
