¹¹ “^(A)What are your many sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I ^[a]have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fattened cattle;
And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats.
¹² When you come ^(B)to appear before Me,
Who requires ^[b]of you this trampling of My courtyards?
¹³ Do not go on bringing your worthless offerings,
^(C)Incense is an abomination to Me.
^(D)New moon and Sabbath, the ^(E)proclamation of an assembly—
I cannot ^(F)endure wrongdoing and the festive assembly.
^14 [c]I hate your new moon festivals and your ^(G)appointed feasts,
They have become a burden to Me;
I am ^(H)tired of bearing them.
¹⁵ So when you ^(I)spread out your hands in prayer,
^(J)I will hide My eyes from you;
Yes, even though you ^(K)offer many prayers,
I will not be listening.
^(L)Your hands are ^[d]covered with blood.

56 This is what the Lord says:
“^(A)Guard justice and do righteousness,
For My ^(B)salvation is about to come
And My righteousness to be revealed.
^2 (C)Blessed is a man who does this,
And a son of man who ^(D)takes hold of it;
Who ^(E)keeps from profaning the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
³ Let not the ^(F)foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will certainly separate me from His people.”
Nor let the ^(G)eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
⁴ For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs who ^(H)keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And ^(I)hold firmly to My covenant,
⁵ To them I will give in My ^(J)house and within My ^(K)walls a memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give ^[a]them an everlasting ^(L)name which ^(M)will not be eliminated.
