Isaiah 1:14-18

English Standard Version

¹⁴Your ^(A)new moons and your appointed feasts
    my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
    I am weary of bearing them.
¹⁵When you ^(B)spread out your hands,
    I will hide my eyes from you;
^(C)even though you make many prayers,
    I will not listen;
    ^(D)your hands are full of blood.
¹⁶^(E)Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
    remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
^(F)cease to do evil,
¹⁷    learn to do good;
^(G)seek justice,
    correct oppression;
^(H)bring justice to the fatherless,
    plead the widow's cause.

¹⁸“Come now, ^(I)let us reason^[a] together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as ^(J)white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
