10. 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.
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.
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?
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.
14. My soul hates your days of proclamation and your solemnities. They have become bothersome to me. I labor to endure them.
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.
16. Wash, become clean, take away the evil of your intentions from my eyes. Cease to act perversely.
17. Learn to do good. Seek judgment, support the oppressed, judge for the orphan, defend the widow.
18. 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.
