• Isaiah 1:13-14
  Bring no more futile sacrifices;
  Incense is an abomination to Me.
  The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—

  My soul hates;
  They are a trouble to Me,
  I am weary of bearing them.

  "I hate, I despise your feast days,
  And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.

  Take away from Me the noise of your songs,
  For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

In every place where I record My name I will come to you, and I will bless you. And if you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone; for if you use your tool on it, you have profaned it. Nor shall you go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.'

  Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they despised My judgments, 'which, if a man does, he shall live by them'; and they greatly defiled My Sabbaths.

But I acted for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.
