Psalm 51:16-19
American Standard Version
16 For thou delightest not in sacrifice; [a]else would I give it:
Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:
Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
In burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering:
Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Amos 5:21-24
American Standard Version
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I [a]will take no delight in your solemn assemblies. 22 Yea, though ye offer me [b]your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the [c]peace-offerings of your fat beasts. 23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. 24 But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a [d]mighty stream.
