Isaiah 1:10-17
International Standard Version
10 “Listen to what the Lord says,
you rulers of Sodom,
and[a] pay attention to the teaching of our God,
you people of Gomorrah!
11 “How do your voluminous sacrifices benefit me?”
the Lord is asking.
“I’ve had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts.
I don’t enjoy the blood of bulls,
lambs, or goats.
12 “When you come to present yourselves in my presence,[b]
who has required you
to trample on my courts?
13 Stop bringing useless offerings!
Incense is detestable to me,
as are your New Moons, Sabbaths, and calling of convocations.
I cannot stand iniquity within[c] a solemn assembly.
14 As for your New Moons and your appointed festivals,
I abhor[d] them.
They’ve become a burden to me;
I’ve grown weary of carrying that burden.[e]
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,[f]
I’ll hide my eyes from you.
Even though you pray repeatedly,
I won’t listen.
Your hands are full of blood,
your fingers drenched[g] with iniquity.”[h]
An Invitation to Reconciliation
16 “Wash yourselves,
and[i] make yourselves clean;
remove your evil behavior
from my presence;
stop practicing what is evil.
17 Learn to practice what is good;
seek justice,
alleviate oppression,[j]
defend orphans[k] in court,
and[l] plead the widow’s case.
