¹¹ Of what [value] to me is the abundance of your sacrifices? says the Lord: I am full of whole burnt offerings of rams; and I delight not in the fat of lambs, and the blood of bulls and goats: ¹² neither shall you⌃ come [with these] to appear before me; for who has required these things at your hands? You⌃ shall no more tread my court. ¹³ Though you⌃ bring fine flour, [it is] vain; incense is an abomination to me; I can’t bear your new moons, and your sabbaths, and the great day; ¹⁴ [your] fasting, and rest from work, your new moons also, and your feasts my soul hates: you⌃ have become loathsome to me; I will no more pardon your sins. ¹⁵ When you⌃ stretch forth your hands, I will turn away mine eyes from you: and though you⌃ make many supplications, I will not listen to you; for your hands are full of blood. ¹⁶ Wash you, be clean; remove your iniquities from your souls before mine eyes; cease from your iniquities; ¹⁷ learn to do well; diligently seek judgment, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow.
