Proverbs 21:27

Proverbs Of Solomon

²⁶ There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don't withhold. ²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind! ²⁸ A false witness will perish, and a man who listens speaks to eternity.

To the Lord

O God

Proverbs 15:8

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

Isaiah 66:3

He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, [as he who offers] pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:

But the people took of the spoil, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal."

I don't rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

Jeremiah 7:11-12

Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says Yahweh.

I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can't stand your solemn assemblies.
