If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Adonai, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.
Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, will also cry out but not be answered.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination— how much more when he brings it with evil intent?
Behold, you are nothing, and your work is null. Whoever chooses you is loathsome.
If they fast, I will not hear their cry. If they offer burnt offering or grain offering, I will not accept them. Instead I will consume them with sword, with famine and with plague.”
