Isaiah 1:10-14

10 Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of ^j, ^kSodom!
Give ear to the teaching ^{▼▼Or law} of our God,
you people of ^mGomorrah!
11 ⁿ“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 ^oappear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
^pNew moon and Sabbath and the ^qcalling of convocations—
I cannot endure ^riniquity and ^ssolemn assembly.
14 Your ^tnew moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.

Amos 5:21-22

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.

Malachi 3:15

15 And now we call ^wthe arrogant blessed. ^xEvildoers not only prosper but ^ythey put God to the test and they escape.’”
