¹⁴ As for your New Moons and your appointed festivals,
    I abhor^[a] them.
They’ve become a burden to me;
    I’ve grown weary of carrying that burden.^[b]
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,^[c]
    I’ll hide my eyes from you.
Even though you pray repeatedly,
    I won’t listen.
Your hands are full of blood,
    your fingers drenched^[d] with iniquity.”^[e]

¹⁶ “Wash yourselves,
    and^[f] make yourselves clean;
remove your evil behavior
    from my presence;
        stop practicing what is evil.
