For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.

I want mercy and not sacrifice. I want you to recognize me as God instead of bringing me burnt offerings.

For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings.

For I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

For I desire loyalty rather than sacrifice, And the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

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

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

爾若知我欲矜恤、不欲祭祀之意、則不罪無辜者矣、

蓋我來非召義人、乃召罪人耳、○

耶和華曰、爾獻祭品眾多、與我何與、牡羊之燔祭、肥畜之脂膏、我已厭之、犢血羔血、與牡山羊之血、我不悅之、

爾之節期、我厭惡之、爾之肅會、我不悅之、

行義秉公、耶和華所悅納、愈於獻祭、

撒母耳曰、耶和華豈喜燔祭及他祭、如喜聽其言乎、夫順服愈於祭祀、聽從愈於羊脂、

詣上帝室、慎爾步履、蓋前而聽、愈於愚人獻祭、以其不知所行乃惡也、

彼為貧乏伸冤、遂得亨通、耶和華曰、如是豈非識我乎、

王歟、請納我諫、去過而行義、絕惡而恤困、庶可延長綏安、

矜恤者福矣、以其將見矜恤也、

我子所羅門歟、當識爾父之上帝、盡心樂意以事之、蓋耶和華鑒察眾心、洞悉意想、爾若尋之、則必遇之、爾若棄之、彼必永久棄爾、

以色列人歟、其聽耶和華言、耶和華與斯土居民爭辯、因其境內無誠實、無仁慈、無識上帝之知識、

我詣耶和華、跪拜至上之上帝、當奉何物、豈以燔祭及盈歲之犢、而詣之乎、

蓋我導爾列祖出埃及時、未嘗以燔祭及他祭命之、

我以信實聘爾歸我、俾爾識耶和華、

我不因爾祭品而加責、爾之燔祭、恆在我前兮、

我所選之禁食、豈非釋凶惡之索、解人之負、縱受屈者自逸、而折諸軛乎、
