Isaiah 1:15

Cuando extendiereis vuestras manos, yo esconderé de vosotros mis ojos: asimismo cuando multiplicareis la oración, yo no oiré: llenas están de sangre vuestras manos.

In this verse, God is speaking and saying that he won't listen to the prayers of the people because their hands are full of blood, meaning they have done wrong things. He will ignore them even if they pray a lot.

Explicado para niños

Imagine if you were playing with a friend, but you kept taking their toys and being mean. One day, you ask them to play with you, but they say no because of how you've treated them. It's like that, but with God and the people who have done bad things.
