Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and bthe calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
I will hide My eyes from you;
bEven though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of1 blood.
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
bCease to do evil,
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
bThey shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
aFor the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
The Degenerate City
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now bmurderers.
| << Isaiah 1:14 | Isaiah 1:16 >> |
