Isaiah 1:11-17
New International Version
11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;(A)
I have no pleasure(B)
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.
14 Your New Moon(K) feasts and your appointed festivals(L)
I hate with all my being.(M)
They have become a burden to me;(N)
I am weary(O) of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands(P) in prayer,
I hide(Q) my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.(R)

Hebrews 10:4-10
New International Version
4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats(A) to take away sins.(B)
5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world,(C) he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;(D)
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(E)—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](F)
8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(G)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(H) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(I) through the sacrifice of the body(J) of Jesus Christ once for all.(K)
