## Isaiah 1:15-20 in Context (Verses 12–23 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/12) When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/13) Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; *it is* iniquity, even the solemn meeting.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/14) Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear *them*.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/15) And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.**
 
 [16 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/16) ¶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
 
 [17 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/17) Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/18) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/19) If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
 
 [20 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/20) But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken *it*.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/21) ¶ How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/22) Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/isaiah/1/23) Thy princes *are* rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
 
[Song of Solomon 8](/kjv/song-of-solomon/8) [Isaiah 2](/kjv/isaiah/2)
