5 And you must love Jehovah your God with all your heart+ and all your soul+ and all your vital force.+

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 For in loving-kindness I have taken delight,+ and not in sacrifice;+ and in the knowledge of God* rather than in whole burnt offerings.+

6 With what shall I confront+ Jehovah? [With what] shall I bow myself to God on high?+ Shall I confront him with whole burnt offerings,+ with calves a year old?
