Worthless Offerings

11 “For what is it to Me—the multitude of your sacrifices?”
    says Adonai.
“I am full of burnt offerings of rams
    and fat of fed animals.
I have no delight in the blood of bulls,
    or of lambs or he-goats.
12 When you come to appear before Me,
    who has required this at your hand—
    trampling My courts?
13 Bring no more worthless offerings!
    Incense is an abomination to Me.
New Moon and Shabbat, the calling of convocations
    —I cannot endure it—
iniquity with solemn assembly.

New Moons,(I) Sabbaths and convocations(J)
    I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
