1 Samuel 15:22 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; Proverbs 15:8 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 8 The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to Jehovah,+But the prayer of the upright is a pleasure to Him.+ 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 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?*+
