Psalm 51:16

21 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Add your ^aburnt offerings to your sacrifices and ^beat flesh. 22 For I did not ^aspeak to your fathers or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23 But this is ¹what I commanded them, saying, ‘^aListen to My voice, and ^bI will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in the entire way which I command you, that it may ^cbe well with you.’

Jeremiah 14:12

« Jer 13Jer 14Jer 15 »

12 When they fast, I am ^anot going to listen to their cry; and when they offer ^bburnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather I am going to ^cmake an end of them by the ^dsword, famine, and pestilence.”

Amos 5:21-24

« Amos 4Amos 5Amos 6 »

“I hate, I ^areject your feasts,

Nor do I ¹^bdelight in your solemn assemblies.

Even though you ^aoffer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,

I will not accept them;

And I will not even look at the ^bpeace offerings of your fatlings.

Remove from Me the tumult of your songs;

I will not even listen to the melody of your harps.

But let ^ajustice roll down like waters

And righteousness like an ever‑flowing stream.
