Proverbs 15:8
New American Standard Bible
8 The (A)sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But (B)the prayer of the upright is His delight.
Isaiah 1:11-15
New American Standard Bible
11 “(A)What are your many sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I [a]have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fattened cattle;
And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats.
12 When you come (B)to appear before Me,
Who requires [b]of you this trampling of My courtyards?
13 Do not go on bringing your worthless offerings,
(C)Incense is an abomination to Me.
(D)New moon and Sabbath, the (E)proclamation of an assembly—
I cannot (F)endure wrongdoing and the festive assembly.
14 [c]I hate your new moon festivals and your (G)appointed feasts,
They have become a burden to Me;
I am (H)tired of bearing them.
15 So when you (I)spread out your hands in prayer,
(J)I will hide My eyes from you;
Yes, even though you (K)offer many prayers,
I will not be listening.
(L)Your hands are [d]covered with blood.
