Isaiah 1:14-17

14I hate your New Moon Festivals and your appointed festivals. They’ve become a burden to me, and I’m tired of putting up with them.

15So when you stretch out your hands ⌞in prayer⌟, I will turn my eyes away from you. Even though you offer many prayers, I will not listen because your hands are covered with blood.

16“Wash yourselves! Become clean! Get your evil deeds out of my sight. Stop doing evil.

17Learn to do good. Seek justice. Arrest oppressors. Defend orphans. Plead the case of widows.”
