Amos 5:21

The Day Of Yahweh

²⁰ Will not the day of the Lord be darkness instead of light,
Even gloom with no brightness in it?
²¹ “I hate, I reject your festivals,
Nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies.
²² “Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.

Isaiah 66:3

“But he who kills an ox is like one who slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb is like the one who breaks a dog’s neck;

He who burns incense is like the one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
