Bible Verses About Wicked: Worship of, offensive to God

when you so hate to receive instruction and fling my words behind you?

Hear what ADONAI says, you rulers of S'dom! Listen to God's Torah, you people of 'Amora!

"Why are all those sacrifices offered to me?" asks ADONAI. "I'm fed up with burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened animals! I get no pleasure from the blood of bulls, lambs and goats!

Yes, you come to appear in my presence; but who asked you to do this, to trample through my courtyards?

Stop bringing worthless grain offerings! They are like disgusting incense to me! Rosh-Hodesh, Shabbat, calling convocations - I can't stand evil together with your assemblies!

"When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; no matter how much you pray, I won't be listening; because your hands are covered with blood.
