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.
Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye fast not this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you.
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
