"^(aa)What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?" Says the Lord . "I ^[d]have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle; And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats.

"When you come ^(ab)to appear before Me, Who requires ^[e]of you this trampling of My courts?

"Bring your worthless offerings no longer, ^(ac)Incense is an abomination to Me. ^(ad)New moon and sabbath, the ^(ae)calling of assemblies— I cannot ^(af)endure iniquity and the solemn assembly.

"I hate your new moon festivals and your ^(ag)appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am ^(ah)weary of bearing them.

"So when you ^(ai)spread out your hands in prayer, ^(aj)I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you ^(ak)multiply prayers, I will not listen. ^(al)Your hands are ^[f]covered with blood.
