Isaiah 1:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ I hate your New Moon feasts
    and your other yearly feasts.
They have become like heavy weights on me.
    I am tired of carrying them.
¹⁵ You will raise your arms in prayer to me.
    But I will refuse to look at you.
Even if you say many prayers,
    I will not listen to you.
It’s because your hands are full of blood.
¹⁶ Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean.
    Stop doing the evil things I see you do.
Stop doing wrong!
