16 For (A)You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;You do not delight in burnt offering.
17 (A)The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,A broken and a contrite heart—These, O God, You will not despise.
6 For I desire (A)mercy[a] and (B)not sacrifice,And the (C)knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
15 (A)Therefore by Him let us continually offer (B)the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, (C)the fruit of our lips, [a]giving thanks to His name.
