Context of Isaiah 1:14
12You come to worship me in my temple. But are you doing what I want? Did I ask you to march round the temple yards with all your animals? 13Do not bring any more useless gifts to offer to me! I do not like your incense. You like to have feasts at new moons, or on Sabbath days. But because of your sins, I hate all your holy meetings. I hate your new moon feasts and your holy meetings. They have become like a heavy load for me. I cannot carry it any longer! 15When you lift up your hands to pray to me, I have to look away. Even if you pray very many times to me, I do not listen to you, because your hands are full of blood. 16Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean! Remove your sins, so that I no longer see them. Stop doing evil things!
