Who fashions a god or casts an idol which profits him nothing? / Behold, all his companions will be put to shame, for the craftsmen themselves are only human. Let them all assemble and take their stand; they will all be brought to terror and shame. / The blacksmith takes a tool and labors over the coals; he fashions an idol with hammers and forges it with his strong arms. Yet he grows hungry and loses his strength; he fails to drink water and grows faint. ...

Jeremiah 7:4-10

New Moons, Sabbaths, and convocations—I cannot endure iniquity in a solemn assembly. ...

Hosea 8:2-4

Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has rejected you as king.”

Ezekiel 33:31-32
So My people come to you as usual, sit before you, and hear your words; but they do not put them into practice.

They hear your words but do not put them into practice.

I will not listen to the music of your harps.
