^6 [a](A)Sacrifice and meal offering ^[b]You have not desired;
My ears You have ^[c]opened;
Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.

¹⁶ For You ^(A)do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it;
You are not pleased with burnt offering.

¹¹ “^(A)What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?”
Says Yahweh.
“I ^[a]have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle;
And in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats ^[b]I take no pleasure.

⁶ For ^(A)I delight in lovingkindness ^(B)rather than sacrifice,
And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
