10 You are no betterthan the leaders and peopleof Sodom and Gomorrah!So listen to the Lord God:
11 “Your sacrificesmean nothing to me.I am sick of your offeringsof rams and choice cattle;I don't like the bloodof bulls or lambs or goats.
12 “Who asked you to bring all thiswhen you come to worship me?Stay out of my temple!
13 Your sacrifices are worthless,and your incense disgusting.I can't stand the evil you doon your New Moon Festivalsor on your Sabbathsand other times of worship.
14 I hate your New Moon Festivalsand all others as well.They are a heavy burdenI am tired of carrying.
15 “No matter how much you pray,I won't listen.You are too violent.
16 Wash yourselves clean!I hate your filthy deeds.Stop doing wrong
