¹¹^*He says, “Do you think I want all these sacrifices you keep offering to me? I have had more than enough of the sheep you burn as sacrifices and of the fat of your fine animals. I am tired of the blood of bulls and sheep and goats. ¹²^*Who asked you to bring me all this when you come to worship me? Who asked you to do all this tramping about in my Temple? ¹³^*It’s useless to bring your offerings. I am disgusted with the smell of the incense you burn. I cannot stand your New Moon Festivals, your Sabbaths, and your religious gatherings; they are all corrupted by your sins.

I cannot endure iniquity with solemn assembly.

When ye come to appear before me,

Who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me;

The new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with;

It is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
