  • 1 Samuel 15:22, 23
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures
    • 22 Samuel then said: “Does Jehovah take as much pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices+ as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Look! To obey is better than a sacrifice,+ and to pay attention than the fat+ of rams; 23 for rebelliousness+ is the same as the sin of divination,+ and pushing ahead presumptuously the same as using magical power and idolatry.* Because you have rejected the word of Jehovah,+ he has rejected you from being king.”+

  • Hosea 6:6
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures
    •  6 For in loyal love* I delight, not in sacrifice,

      And in the knowledge of God, rather than in whole burnt offerings.+

  • Micah 6:7, 8
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures
    •  7 Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams,

      With tens of thousands of torrents of oil?+

      Will I give my firstborn son for my revolt,

      The fruit of my body for my sin?*+

       8 He has told you, O man, what is good.

      And what is Jehovah requiring* of you?

      Only to exercise justice,*+ to cherish loyalty,*+

      And to walk in modesty+ with your God!+

  • Matthew 12:7
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures
    • 7 However, if you had understood what this means, ‘I want mercy+ and not sacrifice,’+ you would not have condemned the guiltless ones.
