"To whatª purpose [is] the multitudeª of your sacrificesª unto me? saithª° the LORD:ª I am fullª° of the burnt offeringsª of rams,ª and the fatª of fed beasts;ª and I delightª° not¹ in the bloodª of bullocks,ª or of lambs,ª or of he goats.ª ... And when ye spread forthª° your hands,ª I will hideª° mine eyesª from¹ you: yea,¹ when¹ ye make manyª° prayers,ª I will not¹ hear:ª° your handsª are fullª° of blood.ª" {Isa 1:11-15} + "Yet they seekª° me daily,ª and delightª° to knowª my ways,ª as a nationª that¹ didª° righteousness,ª and forsookª° not¹ the ordinanceª of their God:ª they askª° of me the ordinancesª of justice;ª they take delightª° in approachingª to God.ª ... [Is] not¹ this¹ the fastª that I have chosen?ª° to looseª° the bandsª of wickedness,ª to undoª° the heavyª burdens,ª and to let the oppressedª° goª° free,ª and that ye breakª° every¹ yoke?ª" {Isa 58:2-6} + "Their websª shall not¹ become¹ garments,ª neither¹ shall they cover²° themselves¹ with their works:ª their worksª [are] worksª of iniquity,ª and the actª of violenceª [is] in their hands.ª ... The wayª of peaceª they knowª° not;¹ and [there is] no¹ judgmentª in their goings:ª they have made them crookedª° paths:ª whosoever¹ goethª° therein shall not¹ knowª° peace.ª" {Isa 59:6-8} + "Thou meetestª°¹ him that rejoicethª° and workethª° righteousness,ª [those that] rememberª° thee in thy ways:ª behold,¹ thou¹ art wroth;ª° for we have sinned:ª° in those is continuance,ª and we shall be saved.ª°" {Isa 64:5} + "He that killethª° an oxª [is as if] he slewª° a man;ª he that sacrificethª° a lamb,ª [as if] he cut off²° a dog's² neck;ª°¹ he that offerethª° an oblation,ª [as if he offered] swine'sª blood;ª he that burnethª° incense,ª [as if] he blessedª° an idol.ª Yea,¹ they¹ have chosenª° their own ways,ª and their soulª delightethª° in their abominations.ª ... I¹ also¹ will chooseª° their delusions,ª and will bringª° their fearsª upon them; because¹ when I called,ª° none¹ did answer;ª° when I spake,ª° they did not¹ hear:ª° but they didª° evilª before mine eyes,ª and choseª° [that] in which¹ I delightedª° not.¹" {Isa 66:3-4} + "Trustª° ye not¹ in¹ lyingª words,ª saying,ª° The templeª of the LORD,ª The templeª of the LORD,ª The templeª of the LORD,ª [are] these.¹ ... Is this¹ house,ª which¹ is calledª° by¹ my name,ª become¹ a denª of robbersª in your eyes?ª Behold,¹ even¹ I¹ have seenª° [it], saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 7:4-11} + "Who hateª° the good,ª and loveª° the evil;ª who pluck offª° their skinª from off¹¹ them, and their fleshª from off¹¹ their bones;ª ...
