Isaiah 1:14-18

“I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am tired of bearing them.

“So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you offer many prayers, I will not be listening. Your hands are covered with blood.

“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil,
