Isaiah 1:13-15

New International Version

¹³Stop bringing meaningless offerings!^(A)
    Your incense^(B) is detestable^(C) to me.
New Moons,^(D) Sabbaths and convocations^(E)—
    I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
¹⁴Your New Moon^(F) feasts and your appointed festivals^(G)
    I hate with all my being.^(H)
They have become a burden to me;^(I)
    I am weary^(J) of bearing them.
¹⁵When you spread out your hands^(K) in prayer,
    I hide^(L) my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
    I am not listening.^(M)

Your hands^(N) are full of blood!^(O)
