Isaiah 1:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ You will raise your arms in prayer to me.
    But I will refuse to look at you.
Even if you say many prayers,
    I will not listen to you.
It’s because your hands are full of blood.
¹⁶ Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean.
    Stop doing the evil things I see you do.
Stop doing wrong!
¹⁷     Learn to do good.
Be fair to other people.
    Punish those who hurt others.
Help the orphans.
    Stand up for the rights of widows.”
