Isaiah 1:15
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.
KJV
Et cum extenderitis manus vestras, avertam oculos meos a vobis, et cum multiplicaveritis orationem, non exaudiam : manus enim vestræ sanguine plenæ sunt.
Vulgate
ὅταν ἐκτείνητε τὰς χεῖρας ἀποστρέψω τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἀφ’ ὑμῶν· καὶ ἐὰν πληθύνητε τὴν δέησιν, οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι ὑμῶν, αἱ γὰρ χεῖρες ὑμῶν αἵματος πλήρεις.
LXX
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.

2. Do you see how He prophesies even the place where He was to be slain. And they cast Him out, and slew Him. And Luke indeed says, that He declared what these men should suffer; and they said, God forbid; and He added the testimony [of Scripture]. For He beheld them, and said, What is it then that is written? The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head …
