Nor

Then said Samuel - Doth that which is pleasing unto Yahweh consist in ascending-offerings and sacrifices, So much as in hearkening unto the voice of Yahweh? Lo! to hearken, is, better, than, sacrifice. And, to give heed, than, the fat of rams;

Sacrifice and meal-offering, thou didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me, - Ascending-sacrifice and sin-bearer, thou didst not ask:

Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually:

For thou wilt not desire sacrifice - that I should give it, Ascending-offering, will not please:

For, lovingkindness, I desired, and not sacrifice, - and the knowledge of God, more than ascending-offerings.

But go ye, and learn what this meaneth, - Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice; For I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.

And, to love him, with all the heart, and with all the understanding, - and with all the might; and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is, abundantly more, than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually:

To do righteousness and justice, is more choice to Yahweh than sacrifice.
