Isaiah 1:10-20 (ESV)
¹⁰  Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom! Give ear to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomorrah! ¹¹  “What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the LORD; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats. ¹²  “When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts? ¹³  Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations— I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. ¹⁴  Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. ¹⁵  When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. ¹⁶  Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, ¹⁷  learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause. ¹⁸  “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. ¹⁹  If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; ²⁰  but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
