Pro 15:8, 21:27, Isa 1:11-15, 66:3, Amo 5:21-22, Zec 7:5-6, Mat 11:30 | ESV | STEP | The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord , but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him .

11 ^e“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
12 “When you come to ^fappear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
^gNew moon and Sabbath and the ^hcalling of convocations—
I cannot endure ⁱiniquity and ^jsolemn assembly.
14 Your ^knew moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you ^lspread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
^meven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
ⁿyour hands are full of blood.

Isaiah 66:3

3 ^o“He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;
he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers ^ppig’s blood;
he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
^qThese have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their abominations;

Amos 5:21-22

21 ^r“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 ^sEven 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.

Zechariah 7:5-6

5 “Say to all the people of the land and the priests, 'When you fasted and mourned in ^tthe fifth month and in ^uthe seventh, for these ^vseventy years, ^wwas it ^xfor me that you fasted? 6 ^yAnd when you eat and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves?

Matthew 11:30

30 For ^zmy yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
