and delight to know my ways,

Why humble ourselves, but you do not notice?”

and to strike with a wicked fist.
Such fasting as you do today
will not make your voice heard on high.(C)

says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls
or of lambs or of goats.(B)
12 When you come to appear before me,[a]
who asked this from your hand?
Trample my courts no more!(C)
13 Bringing offerings is futile;
incense is an abomination to me.
New moon and Sabbath and calling of convocation—
I cannot endure solemn assemblies with iniquity.(D)
14 Your new moons and your appointed festivals
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.(E)

I will hide my eyes from you;
even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
your hands are full of blood.(F)
