'Desire' in the Bible

Because I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

In my desire I will punish them; nations will be gathered against them when they are punished for {their double iniquities}.

Although he may flourish among reeds, [the] east wind will come, a wind of Yahweh rising from [the] desert; his fountain will dry up, his spring will be parched. It will plunder his treasury, every object of desire.
