Psalms 50:16-21
16 But to the wicked God says:“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 aFor you hate discipline,
band you cast my words behind you.
18If you see a thief, cyou are pleased with him,
dand you keep company with adulterers.
19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
eand your tongue frames deceit.
20You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother’s son.
21These things you have done, and I fhave been silent;
you thought that I ▼ was one like yourself.
But now I hrebuke you and ilay the charge before you.

Proverbs 21:27
27 pThe sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;how much more qwhen he brings it with evil intent.
Isaiah 1:11-15
11 r“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 sappear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
tNew moon and Sabbath and the ucalling of convocations—
I cannot endure viniquity and wsolemn assembly.
14Your xnew moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15When you yspread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
zeven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
aayour hands are full of blood.
Zechariah 7:6
6 abAnd when you eat and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves?
