Isaiah 1:11-20

11To what purpose is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of ramsH352, and the fatH2459 of fed beasts; and in the bloodH1818 of bullocks, and of lambsH3532, and of he-goats I take no pleasureH2654.

12When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 before me, who hath requiredH1245 this from your handH3027 — to tread my courts?

13BringH935 no more vain oblations! IncenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me, — newH2320 moonH2320 and sabbathH7676, the callingH7121 of convocationsH4744 — wickednessH205 and the solemnH6116 meeting I cannot bear.

14Your newH2320 moonsH2320 and your set feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hateth: they are a burdenH2960 to me; I amH1961 weariedH3811 of bearingH5375 [them].

15And when ye spreadH6566 forth your handsH3027, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you; yea, when ye makeH8085 manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818.

16WashH7364 you, make you clean; put awayH5493 the evil of your doings from before mine eyesH5869; — ceaseH2308 to do evil,

17learnH3925 to do wellH3190: seekH1875 judgmentH4941, gladden the oppressed, do justiceH4941 to the fatherlessH3490, plead for the widowH490.

18Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sinsH2399 beH1961 as scarletH8144, they shall beH1961 as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they beH1961 redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall beH1961 as woolH6785.

19If ye be willingH14 and hearken, ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776;

20but if ye refuseH3985 and rebelH4784, ye shall be devouredH398 with the swordH2719: for the mouthH6310 of Jehovah hath spokenH1696.
