Isaiah 1:14-22

¹⁴Your new moons and your appointed seasons My soul hateth; they are a burden unto Me; I am weary to bear them.

¹⁵And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes, cease to do evil;

¹⁷Learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

¹⁸Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

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

²⁰But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken.

²¹How is the faithful city become a harlot! She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.

²²Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
