- "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 ... Bringª° no¹ moreª° vainª oblations;ª incenseª is an abominationª unto me; the new moonsª and sabbaths,ª the callingª° of assemblies,ª I cannot¹¹ away with;²° [it is] iniquity,ª even the solemn meeting.ª" {Isa 1:11-13} + "But the peopleª tookª° of the spoil,ª¹ sheepª and oxen,ª the chiefª of the things which should have been utterly destroyed,ª to sacrificeª° unto the LORDª thy Godª in Gilgal.ª ... And Saulª saidª° unto¹ Samuel,ª I have sinned:ª° for¹ I have transgressedª°¹ the commandmentª of the LORD,ª and thy words:ª because¹ I fearedª°¹ the people,ª and obeyedª° their voice.ª" {1Sm 15:21-24} + "Behold,¹ ye¹ trustª° in¹ lyingª words,ª that cannot¹ profit.ª° ... 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 7:8-11} + "I hate,ª° I despiseª° your feast days,ª and I will not¹ smellª° in your solemn assemblies.ª ... But let judgmentª run downª° as waters,ª and righteousnessª as a mightyª stream.ª" {Ams 5:21-24} + "¹ Woeª unto you,ª scribesª andª Pharisees,ª hypocrites!ª forª ye devourª° widows'ª houses,ª andª for a pretenceª make²° long² prayer:ª°¹ thereforeªª ye shall receiveª° the greater²¹ damnation.ª" {Mtt 23:14}
