Isaiah1:15
15 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 .
When you pray with hands spread abroad, as the manner was; of which see Exod. 9. 29. 33. Iob 11. 13. &c.
Which is a gesture of contempt and loathing. I will take no notice of your Persons or Requests.
You are guilty of Murder, and Oppression, and other crying Sins, which I abhor, and have forbidden, under pain of mine highest displeasure.
