Isa. 1:11‑15• 11To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure.
 12When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand--to tread my courts?
 13Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me,--new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations--wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.
 14Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing them.
 15And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. (Isa. 1:11‑15)
