Micah 6:6-8
English Standard Version
What Does the Lord Require?
6 (A)“With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before (B)God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 (C)Will the Lord be pleased with[a] thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
(D)Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and (E)what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,[b]
and to (F)walk humbly with your God?
Jeremiah 7:21-28
English Standard Version
21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (A)“Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. 22 For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them (B)concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23 But this command I gave them: (C)‘Obey my voice, and (D)I will be your God, and you shall be my people. (E)And walk in all the way that I command you, (F)that it may be well with you.’ 24 (G)But they did not obey or incline their ear, (H)but walked in their own counsels and (I)the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and (J)went backward and not forward. 25 From the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, (K)I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day. 26 (L)Yet they did not listen to me or incline their ear, (M)but stiffened their neck. (N)They did worse than their fathers.
27 (O)“So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. (P)You shall call to them, but they will not answer you. 28 And you shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, and did not accept discipline; (Q)truth has perished; it is cut off from their lips.

Isaiah 1:10-15
English Standard Version
10 Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of (A)(B)Sodom!
Give ear to the teaching[a] of our God,
you people of (C)Gomorrah!
11 (D)“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
12 “When you come to (E)appear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
(F)New moon and Sabbath and the (G)calling of convocations—
I cannot endure (H)iniquity and (I)solemn assembly.
14 Your (J)new moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you (K)spread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
(L)even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
(M)your hands are full of blood.
