13 Bring no more (A)futile[a] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and (B)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your (C)New Moons and your (D)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 (E)When you [b]spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
(F)Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of [c]blood.
