Isaiah 1:11
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

God's rhetorical question — 'To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?' — opens one of the most radical prophetic critiques of the cult in the entire Hebrew Bible. The systematic rejection of burnt offerings, feasts, incense, sabbaths, and prayers (verses 11-15) is not abolitionism but conditionalism: these practices are meaningless or even offensive when detached from justice. The corrective is specified in verse 17: 'learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.' Amos 5:21-24 ('I hate, I despise your feast days'), Micah 6:6-8, and Jesus's Sermon on the Mount ethics all stand in this prophetic tradition of insisting that worship and ethics cannot be separated without destroying both.
