11 Of what importance to me are your many sacrifices?| says the LORD. |I am stuffed with burnt sacrifices of rams and the fat from steers. The blood of bulls, lambs, and goats I do not want. 12 When you enter my presence, do you actually think I want this--animals trampling on my courtyards? 13 Do not bring any more meaningless offerings; I consider your incense detestable! You observe new moon festivals, Sabbaths, and convocations, but I cannot tolerate sin-stained celebrations! Isaiah 1:11-13, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
