But in them [there is] a reminder of sins {year by year}.

Yahweh is God, and he has given us light. Bind [the] festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.

An altar of earth you will make for me, and you will sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I cause my name to be remembered, I will come to you, and I will bless you.

The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Let my prayer be set before you [as] incense, the lifting up of my palms [as the] evening offering.

And you will not take a bribe, because the bribe makes [the] sighted blind and ruins [the] words of [the] righteous.

But whatever [things] were gain to me, these [things] I have considered loss because of Christ. {More than that}, even consider all [things] to be loss because of the surpassing greatness of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I have suffered the loss of all [things], and consider [them] dung, in order that I may gain Christ

Take words with you, and return to Yahweh. Say to him, "Take away all guilt; accept good, and we will offer the fruit of our lips.
