Isaiah 1:11-23

11“1WhatH4100 are your manyH7230 sacrificesH2077 to Me?” SaysH559 the LordH3068. “I 2have hadH7646 enoughH7646 of burntH5930 offeringsH5930 of ramsH352 And the fatH2459 of fattenedH4806 cattleH4806; And I takeH2654 noH3808 pleasureH2654 in the bloodH1818 of bullsH6499, lambsH3532, or goatsH6260.12WhenH3588 you comeH935 3to appearH7200 beforeH6440 Me, WhoH4310 requiresH1245 4of you thisH2088 tramplingH7429 of My courtyardsH2691?13Do not goH3254 onH3254 bringingH935 your worthlessH7723 offeringsH4503, 5IncenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 to Me. 6NewH2320 moonH2320 and SabbathH7676, the 7proclamationH7121 of an assemblyH4744-- I cannotH3808 8endureH3201 wrongdoingH205 and the festiveH6116 assemblyH6116.149I hateH8130 your newH2320 moonH2320 festivals and your 10appointedH4150 feastsH4150, They have becomeH1961 a burdenH2960 to Me; I amH3811 11tiredH3811 of bearingH5375 them.15So when you 12spreadH6566 outH6566 your handsH3709 in prayer, 13I will hideH5956 My eyesH5869 from you; YesH1571, evenH3588 thoughH3588 you 14offerH7235 manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not be listeningH8085. 15Your handsH3027 are 16coveredH4390 with bloodH1818.

16“17WashH7364 yourselves, 18makeH2135 yourselves cleanH2135; 19RemoveH5493 the evilH7455 of your deedsH4611 from My sightH5048H5869. 20StopH2308 doingH7489 evilH7489,17LearnH3925 to doH3190 goodH3190; 21SeekH1875 justiceH4941, RebukeH833 the oppressorH2541, 22ObtainH8199 justiceH8199 for the orphanH3490, PleadH7378 for the widow’sH490 caseH490.

18“ComeH1980 nowH4994, and 23let us 24debateH3198 your case,” SaysH559 the LordH3068, “25ThoughH518 your sinsH2399 are as scarletH8144, They shall become as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; ThoughH518 they are redH119 like crimsonH8438, They shall be like woolH6785.1926IfH518 you areH14 willingH14 and obedientH8085, You will 27eatH398 the bestH2898 of the landH776;20But ifH518 you refuseH3985 and rebelH4784, You will be 28devouredH398 by the swordH2719.” For 29the mouthH6310 of the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.

21HowH351 the faithfulH539 cityH7151 has becomeH1961 a 30prostituteH2181, She who was fullH4392 of justiceH4941! RighteousnessH6664 once dweltH3885 in her, But nowH6258 murderersH7523.22Your silverH3701 has becomeH1961 31wasteH5509 matterH5509, Your drinkH5435 dilutedH4107 with waterH4325.23Your 32rulersH8269 are rebelsH5637 And companionsH2270 of thievesH1590; EveryoneH3605 33lovesH157 a bribeH7810 And chasesH7291 after giftsH8021. They 34do not obtainH8199 justiceH8199 for the 35orphanH3490, NorH3808 does the widow’sH490 caseH7379 comeH935 beforeH413 them.
