Isaiah 1:10-17

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁰ Hear ^(A)the word of Yahweh,
You rulers of ^(B)Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah.
¹¹ “^(C)What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?”
Says Yahweh.
“I ^[a]have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle;
And in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats ^[b]I take no pleasure.
¹² When you come ^(D)to appear before Me,
Who requires ^[c]of you this trampling of My courts?
¹³ Bring your worthless offerings no longer,
^(E)Incense is an abomination to Me.
^(F)New moon and sabbath, the ^(G)calling of convocation—
I cannot ^(H)endure wickedness and the solemn assembly.
¹⁴ My soul hates your new moon festivals and your ^(I)appointed times,
They have become a burden to Me;
I am ^(J)weary of bearing them.
¹⁵ So when you ^(K)spread out your hands in prayer,
^(L)I will hide My eyes from you;
Indeed, even though you ^(M)multiply prayers,
I will not listen.
^(N)Your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶ “^(O)Wash yourselves, ^(P)purify yourselves;
^(Q)Remove the evil of your deeds from before My eyes.
^(R)Cease to do evil,
¹⁷ Learn to do good;
^(S)Seek justice,
Reprove the ruthless,
^(T)Execute justice for the ^[d]orphan,
Plead for the widow.
