Then Samuel said:

Does the Lord

take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices

as much as in obeying the Lord?

Look: to obey is better than sacrifice,
to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.

You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;
You open my ears to listen.
You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or for your burnt offerings,
which are continually before Me.

You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it;
You are not pleased with a burnt offering.

For I desire loyalty and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice.

For I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

“On the second day present 12 young bulls, two rams, and 14 male lambs a year old—all unblemished—

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or for your burnt offerings,
which are continually before Me.

Doing what is righteous and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
