Isaiah 1:15

PrayerSin

13 Bring 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.

14 I hate your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.

When 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.

16 Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil!

17 Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.”
