Isaiah 1:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Your New Moon feasts and your other appointed feasts
    I hate with my whole being.
They have become a heavy load to me.
    I am tired of carrying it.
¹⁵ You might spread out your hands toward me when you pray.
    But I do not look at you.
You might even offer many prayers.
    But I am not listening to them.
Your hands are covered with the blood of the people you have murdered.
¹⁶     So wash and make yourselves clean.
Get your evil actions out of my sight!
    Stop doing what is wrong!
