Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me, New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations--I cannot bear your evil assemblies. Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds outs of my sight! Stop doing wrong, learn to do right! (Isaiah 1:13-17a)
I wonder what an "Isaiah of Today" might say about my nation's worship? With regard to its treasured celebrations? Of its armaments and commerce in weaponry? Concerning its evil? Relevant to its wrongdoing?
I have an idea: LEARN TO DO RIGHT!
