Proverbs 15:8

8 ^aThe sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
but ^bthe prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.

Proverbs 21:27

27 ^cThe sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;
how much more ^dwhen he brings it with evil intent.

Isaiah 1:11-15

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.

Amos 5:21-22

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