Isaiah 1:12–20

12  When ye come †dto appear before me,

eWho hath required this at your hand, to tread fmy courts?

13  Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me;

ghThe new moons and gsabbaths, the calling of assemblies, iI cannot away with;

It is ||iniquity, even kthe solemn meeting.

14  Your hnew moons and your lappointed feasts my soul hateth:

They are ma trouble unto me;

nI am weary to bear them.

15  And owhen ye spread forth your hands, pI will hide mine eyes from you:

Yea, when ye †make many prayers, I will not hear:

qYour hands are full of †blood.

16  rWash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; scease to do evil;

17  Learn to do well;

tuSeek judgment, ||relieve the oppressed,

tJudge vthe fatherless, plead for vthe widow.

18  Come now, and wlet us reason together, saith the Lord:

Though your sins be as scarlet, xthey shall be as white as snow;

Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20  But if ye refuse and rebel,

Ye shall be devoured with the sword:

yFor the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
