Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.
12 “When you come (E)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?

Incense is an abomination to Me.

I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
