11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—

what are they to me?” says the Lord.

“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,

of rams and the fat of fattened animals;s

I have no pleasuret

in the blood of bullsu and lambs and goats.v

12 When you come to appear before me,

who has asked this of you,w

this trampling of my courts?

13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!x

Your incensey is detestablez to me.

New Moons,a Sabbaths and convocationsb—

I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.

14 Your New Moonc feasts and your appointed festivalsd

I hate with all my being.e

They have become a burden to me;f

I am wearyg of bearing them.

15 When you spread out your handsh in prayer,

I hidei my eyes from you;

even when you offer many prayers,

I am not listening.j

Your handsk are full of blood!l
