Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part You shall make me to know wisdom.

But if a man comes presumptuously against his neighbor, to kill him by deceit, you shall take him even from My altar, that he may die.

And if a soul sins unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat of the first year as a sin offering.

But the soul who does anything loftily, whether he is a native or a sojourner, that one blasphemes Jehovah, and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Because he has despised the Word of Jehovah, and has broken His commandment, that soul shall be cut down to be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

Moreover you shall take no ransom for the soul of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall be executed to death.

If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them shall die; the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; thus you shall put away the evil from Israel.

For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; my ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You have not asked.

I will not reprove you for your sacrifices, or your burnt offerings, which are continually before Me.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with wicked intent!

What good to Me are your many sacrifices, says Jehovah? I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of well-fed cattle; nor do I delight in the blood of bulls, of lambs, or he goats.

Bring no more vain sacrifices; its incense is an abomination to Me. I cannot endure the new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies, and the wicked festivals.

And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. Even though you multiply prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

For I did not speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.

But this is what I commanded them, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people; and walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, so that it may be well with you.

Therefore you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; you shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

I hate, I despise your feast days; and I will not savor your solemn assemblies.

Take away from Me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your lutes.

Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.

You did not take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
