I will not reprove you on account of your sacrifices; for your whole burnt offerings are before Me continually.

For all the wild beasts of the thicket are Mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.

If I should be hungry, I will not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

But the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to Me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as [one that offers] swine's blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations.

With what shall I reach the Lord, and lay hold of my God most high? Shall I reach Him by whole burnt offerings, by calves of a year old?

Will the Lord accept thousands of rams, or ten thousands of fat goats? Should I give my first born for ungodliness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

You went into Bethel and sinned, and you multiplied sin at Gilgal; and you brought your grain offerings in the morning, and your tithes every third day.

And they read the law outdoors, and called for public professions: proclaim aloud that the children of Israel have loved these things, says the Lord.

If a man should offer it for praise, then shall he bring, for the sacrifice of praise, loaves of fine flour made up with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and fine flour kneaded with oil.

And he shall bring one of all his gifts, a separate offering to the Lord; it shall belong to the priest who pours forth the blood of the peace-offering.

Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay your vows to the Most High.

The sacrifice of praise will glorify Me; and that is the way in which I will show to him the salvation of God.

Let them acknowledge to the Lord His mercies, and His wonderful works to the children of men.

And let them offer to Him the sacrifice of praise, and proclaim His works with exaltation.

I will offer to You the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
