13 Do not go on bringing your worthless offerings,
(A)Incense is an abomination to Me.
(B)New moon and Sabbath, the (C)proclamation of an assembly—
I cannot (D)endure wrongdoing and the festive assembly.
14 [a]I hate your new moon festivals and your (E)appointed feasts,
They have become a burden to Me;
I am (F)tired of bearing them.
15 So when you (G)spread out your hands in prayer,
(H)I will hide My eyes from you;
Yes, even though you (I)offer many prayers,
I will not be listening.
(J)Your hands are [b]covered with blood.
