Isaiah 57:12
English Standard Version
12 I will declare your righteousness and your deeds,
but they will not profit you.
Micah 3:2-4
English Standard Version
2 you (A)who hate the good and love the evil,
(B)who tear the skin from off my people[a]
and their flesh from off their bones,
3 (C)who eat the flesh of my people,
and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones in pieces
and chop them up like meat in a pot,
like flesh in a cauldron.
4 (D)Then they will cry to the Lord,
but he will not answer them;
(E)he will hide his face from them at that time,
because they have made their deeds evil.

Isaiah 1:11-15
English Standard Version
11 (A)“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 (B)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.
(C)New moon and Sabbath and the (D)calling of convocations—
I cannot endure (E)iniquity and (F)solemn assembly.
14 Your (G)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 (H)spread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
(I)even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
(J)your hands are full of blood.
Romans 3:10-20
English Standard Version
10 as it is written:
(A)“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 (B)“Their throat is (C)an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
(D)“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 (E)“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 (F)“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and (G)the way of peace they have not known.”
18 (H)“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever (I)the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, (J)so that every mouth may be stopped, and (K)the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For (L)by works of the law no human being[a] will be justified in his sight, since (M)through the law comes knowledge of sin.

4 (A)Do not trust in these deceptive words: ‘This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.’
5 “For if you truly (B)amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly (C)execute justice one with another, 6 if you (D)do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, (E)or shed innocent blood in this place, (F)and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm, 7 (G)then I will let you dwell in this place, (H)in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.
8 “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. 9 (I)Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, (J)swear falsely, (K)make offerings to Baal, (L)and go after other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house, (M)which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations? 11 (N)Has this house, (O)which is called by my name, (P)become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord.

Isaiah 59:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)Their webs will not serve as clothing;
men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
and deeds of violence are in their hands.
7 (B)Their feet run to evil,
and they are swift to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
desolation and destruction are in their highways.
8 The way of peace they do not know,
and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked;
(C)no one who treads on them knows peace.
Isaiah 58:2-6
English Standard Version
2 (A)Yet they seek me daily
and delight to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that did righteousness
and did not forsake the judgment of their God;
they ask of me righteous judgments;
they delight to draw near to God.
3 (B)‘Why have we fasted, and you see it not?
Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?’
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure,[a]
(C)and oppress all your workers.
4 Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight
and to hit with a wicked fist.
Fasting like yours this day
will not make your voice to be heard on high.
5 (D)Is such the fast that I choose,
(E)a day for a person to humble himself?
Is it to bow down his head like a reed,
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
Will you call this a fast,
and a day acceptable to the Lord?
6 “Is not this the fast that I choose:
(F)to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps (G)of the yoke,
to let the oppressed[b] go free,
and to break every yoke?

Isaiah 66:3-4
English Standard Version
3 (A)“He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;
he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck;
he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers (B)pig's blood;
he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
(C)These have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their abominations;
4 (D)I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and bring (E)their fears upon them,
(F)because when I called, no one answered,
when I spoke, they did not listen;
(G)but they did what was evil in my eyes
and chose that in which I did not delight.”
