1:13 Do not bring any more meaningless
I consider your incense detestable!
You observe new moon festivals, Sabbaths, and convocations,
but I cannot tolerate sin-stained celebrations!
31:2 Yet he too is wise
he does not retract his decree.
He will attack the wicked nation,
and the nation that helps
55:7 The wicked need to abandon their lifestyle
and sinful people their plans.
They should return
and to their God, for he will freely forgive them.
58:9 Then you will call out, and the Lord will respond;
you will cry out, and he will reply, ‘Here I am.’
You must
and stop pointing fingers and speaking sinfully.
59:4 No one is concerned about justice;
no one sets forth his case truthfully.
They depend on false words
they conceive of oppression
and give birth to sin.
59:6 Their webs cannot be used for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.
Their deeds are sinful;
they commit violent crimes.
59:7 They are eager to do evil,
quick to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are sinful;
they crush and destroy.
