Samuel said,
“Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.

Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;

My ears You have opened;
Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.

“I do not reprove you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.

For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it;
You are not pleased with burnt offering.

For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice,
And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

But go and learn

what this means: ‘I desire

compassion

, and not sacrifice,’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

and to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as himself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.

To do righteousness and justice
Is desired by the Lord more than sacrifice.
