⁹ And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.

⁴ And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

⁶ And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:

³ He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

³ To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

²² Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

⁷ Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

²⁵ And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
