Isaiah 1:15-17
Modern English Version

15 When you reach out your hands,
    I will hide My eyes from you;
even when you make many prayers,
    I will not hear.

Your hands are full of blood.

16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
    put away the evil from your deeds, from before My eyes.
    Cease to do evil,
17 learn to do good; seek justice,
    relieve the oppressed;
judge the fatherless,
    plead for the widow.
