Jer 6:20, Amo 5:22, Mal 1:8-13 | ESV | STEP | What use to me is frankincense that comes from Sheba , or sweet cane from a distant land ? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable , nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.

Jeremiah 6:20

20 ^aWhat use to me is ^bfrankincense that comes from ^cSheba,
or sweet cane from a distant land?
^dYour burnt offerings are not acceptable,
nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.

Amos 5:22

22 ^eEven 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.

Malachi 1:8-13

8 ^fWhen you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he accept you or show you favor? says the Lord of hosts. 9 And now ^gentreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift from your hand, ^hwill he show favor to any of you? says the Lord of hosts. 10 ⁱOh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of hosts, ^jand I will not accept an offering from your hand. 11 For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name ^kwill be ^{▼▼Or is (three times in verse 11; also verse 14)} great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name ^mwill be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts. 12 But you profane it when you say that ⁿthe Lord’s table is polluted, and its fruit, that is, its food may be despised. 13 But you say, ^o‘What a weariness this is,’ and you snort at it, says the Lord of hosts. ^pYou bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the Lord.
