1:11 “Of what importance to me are your many sacrifices?”
says the Lord.
“I am stuffed with
of rams and the fat from steers.
The blood of bulls, lambs, and goats
I do not want.
1:15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I look the other way;
when you offer your many prayers,
I do not listen,
because your hands are covered with blood.
4:4 At that time
he will rinse the bloodstains from Jerusalem’s midst,
as he comes to judge
and to bring devastation.
9:5 Indeed every boot that marches and shakes the earth
and every garment dragged through blood
is used as fuel for the fire.
15:9 Indeed, the waters of Dimon
Indeed, I will heap even more trouble on Dimon.
A lion will attack
and the people left in the land.
49:26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;
they will get drunk on their own blood, as if it were wine.
Then all humankind
I am the Lord, your deliverer,
your protector,
59:7 They are eager to do evil,
quick to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are sinful;
they crush and destroy.
