Hear the word of Jehovah, ye leaders of Sodom: give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. For what to me the multitude of your sacrifices? Jehovah will say: I was filled with the burnt-offerings of rams and the fat of fatlings; and I delighted not in the blood of bullocks, and of he lambs and of he goats. When ye shall come to be seen before me who sought this from your hand to tread my enclosure. read more.
Ye shall not add to bring gifts of iniquity; incense, this an abomination to me; the new moon and the Sabbath, the calling of the assembly; I shall not be able to bear vanity and restraining. Your new moons and your appointments my soul hated; they were for a burden upon me; I was wearied to lift up. And in the spreading forth of your hands I will hide mine eyes from you.; also when ye shall multiply prayer I hear not: your hands were full of blood.

I hated, I rejected your festivals, and I will not smell in your assemblies. For if ye shall bring up to me burnt-offerirgs, and your gifts, I will not delight; and I will not look upon the peace-offerings of your fatlings.
