  1. Hosea 6:6 Septuagint mercy

21 (A)“I hate, I despise your feasts,
    and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 (B)Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
    I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
    I will not look upon them.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs;
    to (C)the melody of your harps I will not listen.
24 But let justice roll down like waters,
    and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

Give ear to the teaching[a] of our God,

    says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
    and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
    or of lambs, or of goats.

12 “When you come to (E)appear before me,
    who has required of you
    this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
    incense is an abomination to me.
(F)New moon and Sabbath and the (G)calling of convocations—
    I cannot endure (H)iniquity and (I)solemn assembly.
14 Your (J)new moons and your appointed feasts
    my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
    I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you (K)spread out your hands,
    I will hide my eyes from you;
(L)even though you make many prayers,
    I will not listen;
    (M)your hands are full of blood.
16 (N)Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
    remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
(O)cease to do evil,
17     learn to do good;
(P)seek justice,
    correct oppression;
(Q)bring justice to the fatherless,
    plead the widow's cause.
