- "And Samuelª said,ª° Hath the LORDª [as great] delightª in burnt offeringsª and sacrifices,ª as in obeyingª° the voiceª of the LORD?ª Behold,¹ to obeyª° [is] betterª than sacrifice,ª¹ [and] to hearkenª° than the fatª¹ of rams.ª" {1Sm 15:22} + "I will not¹ reproveª° thee for¹ thy sacrificesª or thy burnt offerings,ª [to have been] continuallyª before¹ me." {Psa 50:8} + "To doª° justiceª and judgmentª [is] more acceptableª° to the LORDª than sacrifice.ª¹" {Prv 21:3} + "Keepª° thy footª when¹ thou goest²°¹ to¹ the houseª of God,ª and be more ready²¹ to hear,ª° than to giveª°¹ the sacrificeª of fools:ª for they considerª° not¹ that¹ they doª° evil.ª" {Ecc 5:1} + "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" {Isa 1:11} + "[Is] not¹ this¹ the fastª that I have chosen?ª° to looseª° the bandsª of wickedness,ª to undoª° the heavyª burdens,ª and to let the oppressedª° goª° free,ª and that ye breakª° every¹ yoke?ª" {Isa 58:6} + "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" {Jer 7:22} + "Wherefore,ª O king,ª let my counselª be acceptableª° unto¹ thee,² and break¹ off²° thy sinsª by righteousness,ª and thine iniquitiesª by shewing mercyª° to the poor;ª° ifª it may beª° a lengtheningª of thy tranquillity.ª" {Dan 4:27} + "I hate,ª° I despiseª° your feast days,ª and I will not¹ smellª° in your solemn assemblies.ª" {Ams 5:21} + "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" {Mic 6:6} + "Blessedª [are] the¹ merciful:ª forª theyª shall obtain mercy.ª°" {Mtt 5:7} + "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}
