“I, the LORD, am the one speaking to you. Come, let’s discuss this. Even if your sins are as dark as red dye, that stain can be removed and you will be as pure as wool that is as white as snow.

“If you listen to what I say, you will get the good things from this land.

Learn to do good. Treat people fairly. Punish those who hurt others. Speak up for the widows and orphans. Argue their cases for them in court.

But if you refuse to listen and rebel against me, your enemies will destroy you.” The LORD himself said this.

“Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean. Stop doing the evil things I see you do. Stop doing wrong.

“When you raise your arms to pray to me, I will refuse to look at you. You will say more and more prayers, but I will refuse to listen because your hands are covered with blood.

“Don’t keep bringing me those worthless sacrifices. I hate the incense you give me. I cannot stand your festivals for the New Moon, the Sabbath, and other special meeting days. I hate the evil you do during those holy times together.

A bull knows its master, and a donkey knows where its owner feeds it. But Israel does not know me. My people do not understand.”

I hate your monthly meetings and councils. They have become like heavy weights to me, and I am tired of carrying them.
