Psa 50:8-13, Isa 66:3, Mic 6:6-7 | ESV | STEP | Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you; your burnt offerings are continually before me.

Psalms 50:8-13

8 Not for your sacrifices ^ado I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9 I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 ^bI 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,
^cfor the world and its fullness are mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?

Isaiah 66:3

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

Micah 6:6-7

What Does the Lord Require?

6 ^g“With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before ^hGod on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 ⁱWill the Lord be pleased with ^{▼▼Or Will the Lord accept} thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
^kShall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
