Psalms 40:6-8
You do not delight in sacrifice and offering; You open my ears to listen. You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.Then I said,“ See, I have come; it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.I delight to do Your will, my God; Your instruction lives within me.”

Hosea 6:6
For I desire loyalty and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
-
Psalms 51:16
You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it; You are not pleased with a burnt offering.

Isaiah 1:11-31
“ What are all your sacrifices to Me?” asks the Lord.“ I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I have no desire for the blood of bulls, lambs, or male goats.When you come to appear before Me, who requires this from you— this trampling of My courts?Stop bringing useless offerings. Your incense is detestable to Me. New Moons and Sabbaths, and the calling of solemn assemblies— I cannot stand iniquity with a festival.I hate your New Moons and prescribed festivals. They have become a burden to Me; I am tired of putting up with them.When you lift up your hands in prayer, I will refuse to look at you; even if you offer countless prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.“ Wash yourselves. Cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil.Learn to do what is good. Seek justice. Correct the oppressor. Defend the rights of the fatherless. Plead the widow’s cause.“ Come, let us discuss this,” says the Lord.“ Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will be like wool.If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.The faithful city— what an adulteress she has become! She was once full of justice. Righteousness once dwelt in her— but now, murderers!Your silver has become dross, your beer is diluted with water.Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love graft and chase after bribes. They do not defend the rights of the fatherless, and the widow’s case never comes before them.Therefore the Lord God of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, declares:“ Ah, I will gain satisfaction from My foes; I will take revenge against My enemies.I will turn My hand against you and will burn away your dross completely; I will remove all your impurities.I will restore your judges to what they once were, and your advisers to their former state. Afterward you will be called the Righteous City, a Faithful City.”Zion will be redeemed by justice, her repentant ones by righteousness.But both rebels and sinners will be destroyed, and those who abandon the Lord will perish.Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred trees you desired, and you will be embarrassed because of the gardens you have chosen.For you will become like an oak whose leaves are withered, and like a garden without water.The strong one will become tinder, and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the flames.

Hebrews 10:4-10
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.Therefore, as He was coming into the world, He said: You did not want sacrifice and offering, but You prepared a body for Me.You did not delight in whole burnt offerings and sin offerings.Then I said,“ See— it is written about Me in the volume of the scroll— I have come to do Your will, God!”After He says above, You did not want or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole burnt offerings and sin offerings( which are offered according to the law),He then says, See, I have come to do Your will. He takes away the first to establish the second.By this will of God, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all.

Jeremiah 7:21-23
This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says:“ Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices, and eat the meat yourselves,for when I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak with them or command them concerning burnt offering and sacrifice.However, I did give them this command: Obey Me, and then I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must follow every way I command you so that it may go well with you.
