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.

The verse 15 is found in chapter 1 of Isaiah. Isaiah opens by presenting a vision against Judah and Jerusalem using the language of a legal proceeding. God raised his people as children, but they rebelled; the comparison with the ox and donkey emphasizes the seriousness of an ingratitude that even domestic animals would not display. The criticism reaches both the moral condition of the people and their worship.

Und wenn ihr schon eure Hände ausbreitet, verberge ich doch meine Augen vor euch; und ob ihr schon viel betet, höre ich euch doch nicht; denn eure Hände sind voll Blut.
Cuando extendiereis vuestras manos, yo esconderé de vosotros mis ojos: asimismo cuando multiplicareis la oración, yo no oiré: llenas están de sangre vuestras manos.
Cuando extiendan sus manos, esconderé de ustedes mis ojos; aunque multipliquen las oraciones, no escucharé. Sus manos están llenas de sangre.
Quand vous étendez vos mains, je détourne de vous mes yeux; Quand vous multipliez les prières, je n'écoute pas: Vos mains sont pleines de sang.
Perciò, quando voi spiegherete le palme delle mani, io nasconderò gli occhi miei da voi; eziandio, quando moltiplicherete le orazioni, io non le esaudirò; le vostre mani son piene di sangue
Por isso, quando estendeis as vossas mãos, escondo de vós os meus olhos; e ainda que multipliqueis as vossas orações, não as ouvirei, porque as vossas mãos estão cheias de sangue.
你們舉手禱告,我必遮眼不看, 就算你們多多祈禱,我也不聽; 你們的手沾滿了血。
