Isaiah 1:11-17 - Heartlight

¹¹“What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?”

says the LORD.

“I am full from the burnt offerings of rams

and the fat of well-fed cattle;

I take no delight in the blood of bulls

and lambs and goats.

¹²When you come to appear before Me,

who has required this of you —

this trampling of My courts?

¹³Bring your worthless offerings no more;

your incense is detestable to Me —

your New Moons, Sabbaths, and convocations.

I cannot endure iniquity

in a solemn assembly.

¹⁴I hate your New Moons

and your appointed feasts.

They have become a burden to Me;

I am weary of bearing them.

¹⁵When you spread out your hands in prayer,

I will hide My eyes from you;

even though you multiply your prayers,

I will not listen.

Your hands are covered with blood.

¹⁶Wash and cleanse yourselves.

Remove your evil deeds from My sight.

Stop doing evil!

¹⁷Learn to do right;

seek justice and correct the oppressor.

Defend the fatherless

and plead the case of the widow.”
