“ I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me.

The Lord says,“ I hate your holy feasts. I can’t stand them. Your gatherings stink.

“ I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.

“ I hate all your show and pretense— the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies.

“ I hate, I reject your festivals, Nor do I delight in your festive assemblies.

“ I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.

I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.

I hate, I despise your feasts! I can’t stand the stench of your solemn assemblies.

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

“ I absolutely despise your festivals! I get no pleasure from your religious assemblies!

I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.

I will reduce your cities to ruins and devastate your sanctuaries. I will not smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.

What use to me is frankincense from Sheba or sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please me.

“ 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.When you come to appear before me, who requires this from you— this trampling of my courts?Stop bringing useless offerings. Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons and Sabbaths, and the calling of solemn assemblies— I cannot stand iniquity with a festival.I hate your New Moons and prescribed festivals. They have become a burden to me; I am tired of putting up with them.When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will refuse to look at you; even if you offer countless prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.“ Wash yourselves. Cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from my sight. Stop doing evil.

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.

Though they offer sacrificial gifts and eat the flesh, the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their guilt and punish their sins; they will return to Egypt.

Anyone who turns his ear away from hearing the law— even his prayer is detestable.

The sacrifice of a wicked person is detestable— how much more so when he brings it with ulterior motives!

The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

“ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you don’t go in, and you don’t allow those entering to go in.

When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, he said to himself,“ I will never again curse the ground because of human beings, even though the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth onward. And I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done.

and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.

But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you provided— a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:“ Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices, and eat the meat yourselves,for when I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak with them or command them concerning burnt offering and sacrifice.However, I did give them this command:‘ Obey me, and then I will be your God, and you will be my people. Follow every way I command you so that it may go well with you.’
