11 Yahweh asks, “What do your many animal sacrifices mean to me?
    I’ve had enough of your burnt offerings of rams
        and enough fat from your fattened calves.
    I’m not pleased with the blood of bulls, lambs, or male goats.
12 When you appear in my presence,
    who asked you to trample on my courtyards?
13 Don’t bring any more worthless grain offerings.
    Your incense is disgusting to me,
    so are your New Moon Festivals, your days of worship,
        and the assemblies you call.
    I can’t stand your evil assemblies.

    of rams and the fat of fattened animals;(A)

    in the blood of bulls(C) and lambs and goats.(D)
12 When you come to appear before me,
    who has asked this of you,(E)
    this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!(F)
    Your incense(G) is detestable(H) to me.
New Moons,(I) Sabbaths and convocations(J)
    I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
