Isa. 1:11‑31• 11To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure.
 12When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand--to tread my courts?
 13Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me,--new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations--wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.

 15And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

 24Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.
 25And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy;
 26and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning. Afterwards thou shalt be called, Town of righteousness, Faithful city.

 28But the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together; and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
 29For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths that ye have desired, and ye shall blush for the gardens that ye have chosen.
 30For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
