Holy Scripture

Isaiah 1:13

A church father on this verse
“Tell me, you who come to church only on festal days, are the other days not festal days? Are they not the Lord's days? It belongs to the Jews to observe religious ceremonies on fixed and infrequent days.… God hates, therefore, those who think that the festal day of the Lord is on one day.”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — HOMILIES ON GENESIS 10:3

In context

11Of what value to me is the abundance of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am full of whole burnt offerings of rams; and I delight not in the fat of lambs, and the blood of bulls and goats:

12neither shall ye come with these to appear before me; for who has required these things at your hands? Ye shall no more tread my court.

— Isaiah 1:13 —

14your fasting, and rest from work, your new moons also, and your feasts my soul hates: ye have become loathsome to me; I will no more pardon your sins.

15When ye stretch forth your hands, I will turn away mine eyes from you: and though ye make many supplications, I will not hearken to you; for your hands are full of blood.
