Isaiah 1:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible

15 When 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.[a]

16 Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean! Remove your sins, so that I no longer see them. Stop doing evil things!

17 Instead, learn to do what is right. Be honest and fair in what you do. Help people who are in pain. Make sure that widows and children who have no family receive justice.’
