I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt-offerings, to have been continually before me.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on my altar for naught. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.

For thou desirest not sacrifice: else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt-offering.

The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
