“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?

Saith the Lord:

I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts;

And I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

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....

Wash you, make you clean;

Put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes;
