Vinsæl biblíuvers úr Isaiah 1

Deildu

“Come, let’s settle this,”  says the LORD. “Though your sins are scarlet, they will be as white as snow;  though they are crimson red, they will be like wool.

If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.

Learn to do what is good. Pursue justice.  Correct the oppressor.  Defend the rights of the fatherless. Plead the widow’s cause.

But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.”  For the mouth of the  LORD has spoken.

“Wash yourselves. Cleanse yourselves.  Remove your evil deeds from my sight. Stop doing evil.

When you spread out your hands in prayer,  I will refuse to look at you; even if you offer countless prayers, I will not listen.  Your hands are covered with blood.

Stop bringing useless offerings.  Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons and Sabbaths,  and the calling of solemn assemblies   — I cannot stand iniquity  with a festival.

The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s feeding trough, but Israel does not know; my people do not understand.”

I hate your New Moons and prescribed festivals. They have become a burden to me; I am tired of putting up with them.
