Pro 21:27, 28:9, Isa 1:10-15, 61:8, 66:3, Jer 6:20, 7:21-23, Amo 5:21-22 | ESV | STEP | The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination ; how much more when he brings it with evil intent .

10 Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of ^d, ^eSodom!
Give ear to the teaching ^{▼▼Or law} of our God,
you people of ^gGomorrah!
11 ^h“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 ⁱappear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
^jNew moon and Sabbath and the ^kcalling of convocations—
I cannot endure ^liniquity and ^msolemn assembly.
14 Your ⁿnew moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you ^ospread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
^peven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
^qyour hands are full of blood.

Isaiah 61:8

8 ^rFor I the Lord love justice;
I hate robbery and wrong; ^{▼▼Or robbery with a burnt offering}
^tI will faithfully give them their recompense,
^uand I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

Isaiah 66:3

3 ^v“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 ^wpig’s blood;
he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
^xThese have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their abominations;

Jeremiah 6:20

20 ^yWhat use to me is ^zfrankincense that comes from ^aaSheba,
or sweet cane from a distant land?
^abYour burnt offerings are not acceptable,
nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.

Jeremiah 7:21-23

21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^ac“Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. 22 For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them ^adconcerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23 But this command I gave them: ^ae‘Obey my voice, and ^afI will be your God, and you shall be my people. ^agAnd walk in all the way that I command you, ^ahthat it may be well with you.’

Amos 5:21-22

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