Isaiah 1:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ I hate your New Moon feasts
    and your other yearly feasts.
They have become a heavy weight on me,
    and I am tired of carrying it.
¹⁵ When you raise your arms to me in prayer,
    I will refuse to look at you.
Even if you say many prayers,
    I will not listen to you,
because your hands are full of blood.
¹⁶ Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean.
    Stop doing the evil things I see you do.
Stop doing wrong.
