1 Samuel 15:22 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—With References 22 In turn Samuel said: “Does Jehovah have as much delight in burnt offerings+ and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Look! To obey+ is better than a sacrifice,+ to pay attention than the fat+ of rams; Psalm 40:6 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—With References 6 Sacrifice and offering you did not delight in;+These ears of mine you opened up.*+Burnt offering and sin offering you did not ask for.+ Psalm 51:16 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—With References 16 For you do not take delight in sacrifice—otherwise I would give [it];+In whole burnt offering you do not find pleasure.+ Proverbs 15:8 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—With References 8 The sacrifice of the wicked ones is something detestable to Jehovah,+ but the prayer of the upright ones is a pleasure to him.+ Matthew 9:13 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—With References 13 Go, then, and learn what this means, ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice.’+ For I came to call, not righteous people, but sinners.”
22 In turn Samuel said: “Does Jehovah have as much delight in burnt offerings+ and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Look! To obey+ is better than a sacrifice,+ to pay attention than the fat+ of rams;
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not delight in;+These ears of mine you opened up.*+Burnt offering and sin offering you did not ask for.+
16 For you do not take delight in sacrifice—otherwise I would give [it];+In whole burnt offering you do not find pleasure.+
8 The sacrifice of the wicked ones is something detestable to Jehovah,+ but the prayer of the upright ones is a pleasure to him.+
13 Go, then, and learn what this means, ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice.’+ For I came to call, not righteous people, but sinners.”
