And Samuel H8050 said, H559 Has the LORD H3068 as great delight H2656 in burnt H5930 offerings and sacrifices, H2077 as in obeying H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD? H3068 Behold, H2009 to obey H8085 is better H2896 than sacrifice, H2077 and to listen H7181 than the fat H2459 of rams. H352

I will not reprove H3198 you for your sacrifices H2077 or your burnt H5930 offerings, to have been continually H8548 before H5048 me.

For every H3605 beast H2416 of the forest H3293 is mine, and the cattle H929 on a thousand H505 hills. H2042

If H518 I were hungry, H7456 I would not tell H559 you: for the world H8398 is mine, and the fullness H4393 thereof.

Offer H2076 to God H430 thanksgiving; H8426 and pay H7999 your vows H5088 to the most H5945 High: H5945

To do H6213 justice H6666 and judgment H4941 is more acceptable H977 to the LORD H3068 than sacrifice. H2077

To what H4100 purpose is the multitude H7230 of your sacrifices H2077 to me? said H559 the LORD: H3068 I am full H7646 of the burnt H5930 offerings of rams, H352 and the fat H2459 of fed H4806 beasts; H4806 and I delight H2654 not in the blood H1818 of bullocks, H6499 or of lambs, H3532 or of he goats. H6260

Bring H935 no H3808 more vain H7723 oblations; H4503 incense H7004 is an abomination H8441 to me; the new H2320 moons H2320 and sabbaths, H7676 the calling H7121 of assemblies, H4744 I cannot H3808 H3201 away with; it is iniquity, H205 even the solemn H6116 meeting. H6116

And when you spread H6566 forth your hands, H3709 I will hide H5956 my eyes H5869 from you: yes, H1571 when H3588 you make many H7235 prayers, H8605 I will not hear: H8085 your hands H3027 are full H4390 of blood. H1818

Learn H3925 to do well; H3190 seek H1875 judgment, H4941 relieve H833 the oppressed, H2541 judge H8199 the fatherless, H3490 plead H7378 for the widow. H490

Is it such H2088 a fast H6685 that I have chosen? H977 a day H3117 for a man H120 to afflict H6031 his soul? H5315 is it to bow H3721 down his head H7218 as a bulrush, H100 and to spread H3331 sackcloth H8242 and ashes H665 under him? will you call H7121 this H2088 a fast, H6685 and an acceptable H7522 day H3117 to the LORD? H3068

Is it not to deal H6536 your bread H3899 to the hungry, H7456 and that you bring H935 the poor H6041 that are cast H4788 out to your house? H1004 when H3588 you see H7200 the naked, H6174 that you cover H3680 him; and that you hide H5956 not yourself from your own flesh? H1320

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Put H5595 your burnt H5930 offerings to your sacrifices, H2077 and eat H398 flesh. H1320

But this H2088 thing H1697 commanded H6680 I them, saying, H559 Obey H8085 my voice, H6963 and I will be your God, H430 and you shall be my people: H5971 and walk H1980 you in all H3605 the ways H1870 that I have commanded H6680 you, that it may be well H3190 to you.

For I desired H2654 mercy, H2617 and not sacrifice; H2077 and the knowledge H1847 of God H430 more than burnt H5930 offerings.

I hate, H8130 I despise H3988 your feast H2282 days, and I will not smell H7306 in your solemn H6116 assemblies. H6116

Take H5493 you away H5493 from me the noise H1995 of your songs; H7892 for I will not hear H8085 the melody H2172 of your viols. H5035

With which H4100 shall I come H6923 before H6924 the LORD, H3068 and bow H3721 myself before the high H4791 God? H430 shall I come H6923 before H6924 him with burnt H5930 offerings, with calves H5695 of a year H8141 old? H1121

He has showed H5046 you, O man, H120 what H4100 is good; H2896 and what H4100 does the LORD H3068 require H1875 of you, but to do H6213 justly, H4941 and to love H160 mercy, H2617 and to walk H3212 humbly H6800 with your God? H430

But go G4198 you and learn G3129 what G5101 that means, G2076 I will G2309 have mercy, G1656 and not sacrifice: G2378 for I am not come G2064 to call G2564 the righteous, G1342 but sinners G268 to repentance. G3341

But if G1487 you had known G1097 what G5101 this means, G2076 I will G2309 have mercy, G1656 and not sacrifice, G2378 you would not have condemned G2613 the guiltless. G338

Though G1437 I speak G2980 with the tongues G1100 of men G444 and of angels, G32 and have G2192 not charity, G26 I am become G1096 as sounding G2278 brass, G5475 or G2228 a tinkling G214 cymbal. G2950

And though G1437 I bestow G5595 all G3956 my goods G5224 to feed G5595 the poor, G4434 and though G1437 I give G3860 my body G4983 to be burned, G2545 and have G2192 not charity, G26 it profits G5623 me nothing. G3762
