9 cWill you steal, murder, commit adultery, dswear falsely, emake offerings to Baal, fand go after other gods that you have not known, 10and then come and stand before me in this house, gwhich is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations? 11 hHas this house, iwhich is called by my name, jbecome a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 7:21-24

21Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: kAdd your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. 22For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them lconcerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23But this command I gave them: mObey my voice, and nI will be your God, and you shall be my people. oAnd walk in all the way that I command you, pthat it may be well with you.’ 24 qBut they did not obey or incline their ear, rbut walked in their own counsels and sthe stubbornness of their evil hearts, and twent backward and not forward.

Amos 5:21-23

21 u“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 vEven though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
23Take away from me the noise of your songs;
to wthe melody of your harps I will not listen.
