22 Poyankha Samueli anati: “Kodi Yehova amakondwera ndi nsembe zopsereza+ ndi nsembe zina kuposa kumvera mawu a Yehova? Taona! Kumvera+ kuposa nsembe,+ ndipo kumvetsera mosamala kuposa mafuta+ a nkhosa zamphongo.

8 Nsembe ya anthu oipa imam’nyansa Yehova,+ koma pemphero la anthu owongoka mtima limam’sangalatsa.+

11 Yehova wanena kuti: “Kodi nsembe zanu zambirimbirizo zili ndi phindu lanji kwa ine? Nsembe zopsereza zathunthu+ za nkhosa zamphongo+ ndiponso mafuta a nyama zodyetsedwa bwino zandikwana.+ Ine sindikusangalalanso+ ndi magazi+ a ana a ng’ombe amphongo, ana a nkhosa amphongo ndiponso a mbuzi zamphongo.+

20 “N’chifukwa chiyani mukundibweretsera lubani* wochokera ku Sheba+ ndi mabango onunkhira ochokera kudziko lakutali? Zimenezi zili ndi ntchito yanji kwa ine? Nsembe zanu zopsereza zathunthu sizikundisangalatsa,+ ndipo nsembe zina zonse zimene mukupereka sizikundikondweretsa.”+
