12 When you come (A)to appear before Me,
Who requires [a]of you this trampling of My courtyards?
13 Do not go on bringing your worthless offerings,
(B)Incense is an abomination to Me.
(C)New moon and Sabbath, the (D)proclamation of an assembly—
I cannot (E)endure wrongdoing and the festive assembly.
14 [b]I hate your new moon festivals and your (F)appointed feasts,
They have become a burden to Me;
I am (G)tired of bearing them.
15 So when you (H)spread out your hands in prayer,
(I)I will hide My eyes from you;
Yes, even though you (J)offer many prayers,
I will not be listening.
(K)Your hands are [c]covered with blood.
