Isaiah 66:3
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;

8 (A)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
but (B)the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.
Amos 5:21-22
English Standard Version
21 (A)“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 (B)Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
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.
Isaiah 66:17

and chose what I did not delight in.”
