1 Samuel 15:22-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
22 Samuel said,
“(A)Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, (B)to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.
23 “For rebellion is as the sin of (C)divination,
And insubordination is as (D)iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
(E)He has also rejected you from being king.”
1 Samuel 15:22-23
Young's Literal Translation
22 And Samuel saith, `Hath Jehovah had delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices as [in] hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? lo, hearkening than sacrifice is better; to give attention than fat of rams;
23 for a sin of divination [is] rebellion, and iniquity and teraphim [is] stubbornness; because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, He also doth reject thee from [being] king.'
