  • Isa 1:11-15 : 11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? says the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals; and I delight not in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of goats. 12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts? 13 Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble to me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: indeed, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
  • Mic 3:2-4 : 2 Who hate good and love evil; who strip their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; 3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, like meat for the pot, and like flesh within the cauldron. 4 Then they shall cry to the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, because they have done evil in their deeds.
  • Matt 23:5 : 5 But all their works they do to be seen by men: they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments,
  • Matt 23:13 : 13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, nor allow those who are entering to go in.
  • Rom 3:10-20 : 10 As it is written, 'There is none righteous, no, not one:' 11 'There is none who understands, there is none who seeks after God.' 12 'They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one.' 13 'Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of vipers is under their lips.' 14 'Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.' 15 'Their feet are swift to shed blood:' 16 'Destruction and misery are in their ways:' 17 'And the way of peace they have not known:' 18 'There is no fear of God before their eyes.' 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
  • Isa 29:15 : 15 Woe to them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
  • Isa 58:2-6 : 2 Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways, as a nation that practiced righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice and take delight in approaching God. 3 Why have we fasted, they say, and you do not see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you take no notice? Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure and exact all your labors. 4 Behold, you fast for strife and debate and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You shall not fast as you do this day, to make your voice heard on high. 5 Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? 6 Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
  • Isa 59:6-8 : 6 Their webs will not become garments, nor will they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. 7 Their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their paths. 8 The way of peace they do not know; and there is no justice in their paths: they have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever walks therein shall not know peace.
  • Isa 64:5 : 5 You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are angry; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
  • Jer 7:4-9 : 4 Do not trust in deceptive words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your deeds; if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor; 6 If you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your harm; 7 Then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever. 8 Behold, you trust in deceptive words that cannot profit. 9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know; 10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? 11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, says the LORD.
  • Isa 66:3-4 : 3 He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, as if he broke a dog's neck; he that offers an offering, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations. 4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none answered; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I do not delight.
  • Rom 10:2-3 : 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For being ignorant of God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
