1. Jeremiah 6:20 – “What do I care about incense from Sheba or sweet calamus from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please me.”
2. Jeremiah 7:21-22 – “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go ahead, add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves! For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
3. Jeremiah 11:15 – “What is my beloved doing in my temple as she, with many others, works out her evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your punishment? When you engage in your wickedness, then you rejoice.”
4. Jeremiah 14:12 – “Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague.”
5. Jeremiah 17:26 – “People will come from the towns of Judah and the villages around Jerusalem, from the territory of Benjamin and the western foothills, from the hill country and the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings, incense and thank offerings to the house of the Lord.”
6. Jeremiah 19:4-5 – “For they have forsaken me and made this a place of foreign gods; they have burned incense in it to gods that neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah ever knew, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent. They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind.”
7. Jeremiah 33:11 – “The sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the Lord, saying, ‘Give thanks to the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is good; his love endures forever.’ For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,’ says the Lord.”
8. Jeremiah 33:18 – “Neither will the priests, the Levites, ever lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to sacrifice continually.”

These verses highlight how sacrifices were often criticized by Jeremiah when they were performed without genuine repentance or obedience, and they also emphasize the importance of a sincere relationship with God over mere ritualistic practices.
