Psalms 40:6
6 aIn sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,but you have given me an open bear. ▼
▼Hebrew ears you have dug for me
Burnt offering and sin offering
you have not required.
Psalms 50:7-13
7 d“Hear, O my people, and I will speak;O Israel, I will testify against you.
eI am God, your God.
8Not for your sacrifices fdo I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 gI know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
hfor the world and its fullness are mine.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
Psalms 50:16-17
16 But to the wicked God says:“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 iFor you hate discipline,
jand you cast my words behind you.
Psalms 66:3
3Say to God, k“How awesome are your deeds!So great is your power that your enemies lcome cringing to you.
Isaiah 1:11
11 m“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.
Isaiah 66:3
3 n“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 opig’s blood;
he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
pThese have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their abominations;
Ezekiel 20:39
39“As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord God: qGo serve every one of you his idols, now and hereafter, if you will not listen to me; rbut my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts and your idols.Amos 5:21-22
21 s“I hate, I despise your feasts,and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 tEven 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.
