Isaiah 1:1: When ye make many prayers, I will not hear., &c

In vain your longest prayers ye say,
Regardless of your Lord's command.s,
Who will not put your sins away,
Yet show to heaven your lifted hands;
Your lifted hands are full of blood,
Your heart of hatred against God.

Ye hate My truths and witnesses,
Me, Me, in them ye vex and grieve;
My members persecute, oppress.
And reckon them not fit to live;
Murderers, who in your works confide,
As God were pleased with fratricide.
