Isaia 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:15

And when ye spread forth your hands
That is, in prayer, this being a prayer gesture: hence the Targum paraphrases it,

``and when the priests spread out their hands to pray for you.''
I will hide mine eyes from you;
will not look upon them, nor regard their prayer; see ( Lamentations 3:42 ) yea, when ye make many prayers;
as the Scribes and Pharisees did in Christ's time, and thought to be heard for their much speaking, like the Gentiles, ( Matthew 6:7 ) I will not hear;
so as to give an answer, or fulfil their requests: the reason follows, your hands are full of blood;
of the prophets of the Lord, of Christ and his followers, whom they put to death.

Isaia 1:15 In-Context

13 Cessate dal recare oblazioni vane; il profumo io l’ho in abominio; e quanto ai noviluni, ai sabati, al convocar raunanze, io non posso soffrire l’iniquità unita all’assemblea solenne.
14 I vostri noviluni, le vostre feste stabilite l’anima mia li odia, mi sono un peso che sono stanco di portare.
15 Quando stendete le mani, io rifiuto di vederlo; anche quando moltiplicate le preghiere, io non ascolto; le vostre mani son piene di sangue.
16 Lavatevi, purificatevi, togliete d’innanzi agli occhi miei la malvagità delle vostre azioni; cessate del far il male;
17 imparate a fare il bene; cercate la giustizia, rialzate l’oppresso, fate ragione all’orfano, difendete la causa della vedova!
