¹¹ “What are all your sacrifices to me?”
asks the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams
and the fat of well-fed cattle;
I have no desire for the blood of bulls,
lambs, or male goats.^(A)

²³ You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings
or honored me with your sacrifices.^(A)
I have not burdened you with offerings
or wearied you with incense.^[a]

³ One person slaughters an ox, another kills a person;
one person sacrifices a lamb, another breaks a dog’s neck;
one person offers a grain offering, another offers pig’s blood;
one person offers incense, another praises an idol—
all these have chosen their ways
and delight in their abhorrent practices.^(A)

⁴ They will not pour out
their wine offerings to the Lord,^(A)
and their sacrifices will not please him.
Their food will be like the bread of mourners;
all who eat it become defiled.^(B)
For their bread will be for their appetites alone;
it will not enter the house of the Lord.

²¹ I hate, I despise, your feasts!^(A)
I can’t stand the stench
of your solemn assemblies.^(B)
