Isaiah / Yesha'yahu [Salvation of Yah] 1:8-16

⁸The daughter of Zion Mountain ridge, Marking is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.

⁹Unless Adonai Tzva'ot Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom Burning; we would have been like Gomorrah Rebellious people, Tyrants.

¹⁰Sh'ma ·Hear obey· Adonai ’s word, you rulers of Sodom Burning! Listen to the Torah ·Teaching· of our God, you people of Gomorrah Rebellious people, Tyrants!

¹¹“What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?,” says Adonai . “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.

¹²When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

¹³Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can’t bear with evil assemblies.

¹⁴My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.

¹⁵When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not sh'ma ·hear obey·. Your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
