12 Not even if ye come to appear before me. For who hath demanded this of your hands? Tread my court

13 Ye shall not, any more; if ye bring me fine flour, it is vain; incense, it is an abomination to me; your new moons, and the sabbaths, and a great day, I cannot bear: fasting and idleness,

14 And your new moons, and your feasts, my soul hateth; ye are become to me a surfeit! no longer will I let your sins be.

15 When ye stretch out your hands toward me, I will turn away mine eyes from you; and if ye multiply your petition, I will not listen to you; for your hands are full of blood.

17 Learn to do well; seek out judgment, deliver one wronged, judge for the orphan, justify the widow.

18 And ’come, and let us be convicted, saith the Lord; and if your sins be as a scarlet thing, I will make them white as snow; and if they be as crimson, I will make them white as wool.

19 And if ye be willing, and hearken unto me, ye shall eat the good things of the land:

20 But if ye be not willing, neither hearken unto me, a sword ’ shall devour you; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken this.

22 Your silver is base; thy hucksters mix the wine with water:
