Proverbs 15:8
Legacy Standard Bible
8 The (A)sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
But (B)the prayer of the upright is His delight.
Isaiah 1:11-15
Legacy Standard Bible
11 “(A)What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?”
Says Yahweh.
“I [a]have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle;
And in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats [b]I take no pleasure.
12 When you come (B)to appear before Me,
Who requires [c]of you this trampling of My courts?
13 Bring your worthless offerings no longer,
(C)Incense is an abomination to Me.
(D)New moon and sabbath, the (E)calling of convocation—
I cannot (F)endure wickedness and the solemn assembly.
14 My soul hates your new moon festivals and your (G)appointed times,
They have become a burden to Me;
I am (H)weary of bearing them.
15 So when you (I)spread out your hands in prayer,
(J)I will hide My eyes from you;
Indeed, even though you (K)multiply prayers,
I will not listen.
(L)Your hands are full of blood.
