My soul hates your days of proclamation and your solemnities. They have become bothersome to me. I labor to endure them.
And so, when you extend your hands, I will avert my eyes from you. And when you multiply your prayers, I will not heed you. For your hands are full of blood.
Wash, become clean, take away the evil of your intentions from my eyes. Cease to act perversely.
Learn to do good. Seek judgment, support the oppressed, judge for the orphan, defend the widow.
And then approach and accuse me, says the Lord. Then, if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white like snow; and if they are red like vermillion, they shall become white like wool.
If you are willing, and you listen to me, then you will eat the good things of the land.
But if you are not willing, and you provoke me to anger, then the sword will devour you. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
