Isaiah wrote about the connection between worship and ethical behavior, God’s refusal to accept the worship of people who treat others cruelly or injustly, and God’s kingdom on Earth.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation. Neither shall they learn war any more…

Isaiah 2:4, 11:6, 55:12
