Isaiah

Isaiah 1:11–12

¹¹“What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?”

says the LORD.

“I am full from the burnt offerings of rams

and the fat of well-fed cattle;

I take no delight in the blood of bulls

and lambs and goats.

¹²When you come to appear before Me,

who has required this of you—

this trampling of My courts?
