Context Reading
14My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts.They are a burden to me.I am weary of bearing them. 15When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you.Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear.Your hands are full of blood. 16Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean.Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes.Cease to do evil. 17Learn to do well.Seek justice.Relieve the oppressed.Defend the fatherless.Plead for the widow.” 18“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh:“Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
