Next

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Bring {H935} no more {H3254} vain {H7723} oblations {H4503}; incense {H7004} is an abomination {H8441} unto me; the new moons {H2320} and sabbaths {H7676}, the calling {H7121} of assemblies {H4744}, I cannot away with {H3201}; it is iniquity {H205}, even the solemn meeting {H6116}.

Stop bringing worthless grain offerings! They are like disgusting incense to me! Rosh-Hodesh, Shabbat, calling convocations - I can't stand evil together with your assemblies!

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.

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies,—I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.
