⁸ The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
    but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

²⁹ Yahweh is far from the wicked,
    but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

³ To do righteousness and justice
    is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination—
    how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
