- Hath the LORD[YHWH]:
- "I will not¹ reproveª° thee for¹ thy sacrificesª or thy burnt offerings,ª [to have been] continuallyª before¹ me. ... I will takeª° no¹ bullockª out of thy house,ª¹ [nor] he goatsª out of thy folds.ª¹" {Psa 50:8-9} + "For¹ thou desirestª° not¹ sacrifice;ª else would I giveª° [it]: thou delightestª° not¹ in burnt offering.ª ... The sacrificesª of Godª [are] a brokenª° spirit:ª a brokenª° and a contriteª° heart,ª O God,ª thou wilt not¹ despise.ª°" {Psa 51:16-17} + "To doª° justiceª and judgmentª [is] more acceptableª° to the LORDª than sacrifice.ª¹" {Prv 21:3} + "To whatª purpose [is] the multitudeª of your sacrificesª unto me? saithª° the LORD:ª I am fullª° of the burnt offeringsª of rams,ª and the fatª of fed beasts;ª and I delightª° not¹ in the bloodª of bullocks,ª or of lambs,ª or of he goats.ª ... Learnª° to do well;ª° seekª° judgment,ª relieveª° the oppressed,ª judgeª° the fatherless,ª pleadª° for the widow.ª" {Isa 1:11-17} + "For¹ I spakeª° not¹ unto¹ your fathers,ª nor¹ commandedª° them in the dayª that I brought¹ them out²° of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª concerningª¹ burnt offeringsª or sacrifices:ª ... But¹¹¹ this¹ thingª commandedª° I them, saying,ª° Obeyª° my voice,ª and I will be¹ your God,ª and ye¹ shall be¹ my people:ª and walkª° ye in all¹ the waysª that¹ I have commandedª° you, that¹ it may be wellª° unto you." {Jer 7:22-23} + "For¹ I desiredª° mercy,ª and not¹ sacrifice;ª and the knowledgeª of Godª more than burnt offerings.ª¹" {Hsa 6:6} + "I hate,ª° I despiseª° your feast days,ª and I will not¹ smellª° in your solemn assemblies.ª ... But let judgmentª run downª° as waters,ª and righteousnessª as a mightyª stream.ª" {Ams 5:21-24} + "Wherewith¹ shall I come beforeª° the LORD,ª [and] bow²° myself¹ before the highª God?ª shall I come beforeª° him with burnt offerings,ª with calvesª of a yearª old?ª ... He hath shewedª° thee, O man,ª what¹ [is] good;ª and what¹ doth the LORDª requireª° of¹ thee, but¹¹ to doª° justly,ª and to love²¹ mercy,ª and to walk²°¹ humblyª° with¹ thy God?ª" {Mic 6:6-8} + "Butª go¹ ye²° and learnª° whatª [that] meaneth,ª° I willª° have mercy,ª andª notª sacrifice:ª forª I am²° notª comeª° to callª° the righteous,ª butª sinnersª toª repentance.ª" {Mtt 9:13} + "Butª ifª ye had knownª° whatª [this] meaneth,ª° I will¹ have²° mercy,ª andª notª sacrifice,ª ye would² notª have condemnedª° the¹ guiltless.ª" {Mtt 12:7} + "Woeª unto you,ª scribesª andª Pharisees,ª hypocrites!ª for²¹ ye pay titheª° of mintª andª aniseª andª cummin,ª andª have omittedª° the¹ weightierª [matters] of the¹ law,ª judgment,ªª mercy,ª andª faith:ª theseª ought¹ ye²° to have done,ª° and notª to leaveª° the otherª undone.ª°" {Mtt 23:23} + "Forª [it is] not possibleª that the bloodª of bullsª andª of goatsª should take awayª° sins.ª ... Byª the whichª willª we areª° sanctifiedª° throughª the¹ offeringª of the¹ bodyª of Jesusª Christª onceª [for all]." {Hbr 10:4-10}
