^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.
⁷ Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is ^[d]written of me.
^8 (B)I desire to do Your will, O my God;
^(C)Your law is within my inner being.”

¹⁶ For You ^(A)do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it;
You are not pleased with burnt offering.
¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a ^(B)broken spirit;
A broken and a ^[a]contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

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.
¹² When you come ^(B)to appear before Me,
Who requires ^[c]of you this trampling of My courts?
¹³ Bring your worthless offerings no longer,
^(C)Incense is an abomination to Me.
^(D)New moon and sabbath, the ^(E)calling of convocation—
I cannot ^(F)endure wickedness and the solemn assembly.
¹⁴ My soul hates your new moon festivals and your ^(G)appointed times,
They have become a burden to Me;
I am ^(H)weary of bearing them.
¹⁵ So when you ^(I)spread out your hands in prayer,
^(J)I will hide My eyes from you;
Indeed, even though you ^(K)multiply prayers,
I will not listen.
^(L)Your hands are full of blood.
