¹¹ “^(A)What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I ^[a]have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle;
And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats.
¹² “When you come ^(B)to appear before Me,
Who requires ^[b]of you this trampling of My courts?
¹³ “Bring your worthless offerings no longer,
^(C)Incense is an abomination to Me.
^(D)New moon and sabbath, the ^(E)calling of assemblies—
I cannot ^(F)endure iniquity and the solemn assembly.
¹⁴ “I hate your new moon festivals and your ^(G)appointed feasts,
They have become a burden to Me;
I am ^(H)weary of bearing them.
¹⁵ “So when you ^(I)spread out your hands in prayer,
^(J)I will hide My eyes from you;
Yes, even though you ^(K)multiply prayers,
I will not listen.
^(L)Your hands are ^[c]covered with blood.

^6 (A)With what shall I come to the Lord
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come to Him with ^(B)burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
⁷ Does the Lord take delight in ^(C)thousands of rams,
In ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I present my ^(D)firstborn for my rebellious acts,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
⁸ He has ^(E)told you, O man, what is good;
And ^(F)what does the Lord require of you
But to ^(G)do justice, to ^(H)love ^[a]kindness,
And to walk ^[b](I)humbly with your God?

^6 (A)In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have taken no pleasure.
⁷ “^(B)Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come
(In ^(C)the scroll of the book it is written of Me)
To do Your will, O God.’”
