⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah;
But the prayer of the upright is his delight.

²⁹ Jehovah is far from the wicked;
But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

³ To do righteousness and justice
Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;
How much more, when he bringeth it ^[a]with a wicked mind!
