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 debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
