Deuteronomy 12:6-7
and thither ye shall bring your burnt- offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave- offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill- offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock:and there ye shall eat before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee.

Amos 4:6-7
And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

Isaiah 62:8-9
Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies; and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou hast labored:but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.

Joel 1:5-9
Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the jaw- teeth of a lioness.He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig- tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.The meal- offering and the drink- offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah’s ministers, mourn.

Psalms 105:3
Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

Isaiah 3:7
in that day shall he lift up his voice, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: ye shall not make me ruler of the people.

Deuteronomy 12:11-12
then it shall come to pass that to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt- offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave- offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto Jehovah.And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men- servants, and your maid- servants, and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath no portion nor inheritance with you.
-
Joel 1:13
Gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, ye priests; wail, ye ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meal- offering and the drink- offering are withholden from the house of your God.

Deuteronomy 16:10-15
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill- offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God blesseth thee:and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man- servant, and thy maid- servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing- floor and from thy winepress:and thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man- servant, and thy maid- servant, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose; because Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful.
