Isaiah 57:12-13 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee. ...

Isaiah 59:5-6 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. ... Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works [are] works of iniquity, and the act of violence [is] in their hands.
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Isaiah 66:3-6 He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as if he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. ... A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
Jeremiah 7:8-10 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. ... And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
