A Call to Repentance

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow.”

18

“Come now, and let us reason together,” says 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.
