Amos 4:5
Punishment Brings No Repentance
4“Go to Bethel and transgress; rebel even more at Gilgal! Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days. 5Offer leavened bread as a thank offering, and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings. For that is what you children of Israel love to do,” declares the Lord GOD. 6“I beset all your cities with cleanness of teeth and all your towns with lack of bread, yet you did not return to Me,” declares the LORD.

Bring offerings of bread to thank me, and other offerings that are not required/commanded, and boast about these offerings that you bring, because that is what you like to do, but you do it to impress others, not to please me.
