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!
¹³Your 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.
¹⁴I hate your New Moon Festivals
    and all others as well.
They are a heavy burden
    I am tired of carrying.
