Listen to the Word of the Lord, you leaders of the people of Sodom. Listen closely to the law of our God, O people of Gomorrah. |
| 1:11 |
The multitude of your sacrifices, what is that to me, says the Lord? I am full. I do not desire holocausts of rams, nor the fat of fatlings, nor the blood of calves and of lambs and of he-goats. |
| 1:12 |
When you approach before my sight, who is it that requires these things from your hands, so that you would walk in my courts? |
| 1:13 |
You should no longer offer sacrifice vain. Incense is an abomination to me. The new moons and the Sabbaths and the other feast days, I will not receive. Your gatherings are iniquitous. |
| 1:14 |
My soul hates your days of proclamation and your solemnities. They have become bothersome to me. I labor to endure them. |
| 1:15 |
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. |
| 1:16 |
Wash, become clean, take away the evil of your intentions from my eyes. Cease to act perversely. |
| 1:17 |
Learn to do good. Seek judgment, support the oppressed, judge for the orphan, defend the widow. |
