Yeshayah 1:10-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

10. Hear the Devar Hashem, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the Torat Eloheinu, ye people of Amora (Gomorrah).

11. To what purpose is the multitude of your zevakhim unto Me? saith Hashem; I am fed up of the olot (burnt offerings) of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the dahm of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats.

12. When ye come to appear before Me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample khatzerai (My courts)?

13. Bring no more futile minchot; ketoret is an abomination unto Me; Rosh Chodesh (New Moon) and Shabbos, the calling of assemblies--I cannot endure aven (wickedness) and atzarah (solemn convocation).

14. Your Rosh Chodesh and your Mo'adim My Nefesh hateth; they are a burden unto Me; I am weary to bear them.

15. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many tefillah, I will not hear; your hands are full of dahmim.

16. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17. Learn to do good; seek mishpat, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the almanah.

18. Come now, and let us reason together, saith Hashem; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of ha'aretz;

20. But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the cherev; for the mouth of Hashem hath spoken.
