12 “When you come ^ato appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts? ‡

13 Bring no more ^afutile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and ^bthe calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting. ‡

16 “Wash^a yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
^bCease to do evil, ‡

17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke¹ the oppressor;
¹Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow. ‡
