1 Samuel 15:22

22 And Samuel said,

^e“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, ^fto obey is better than sacrifice,
and to listen than the fat of rams.

Isaiah 1:10-17

10 Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of ^g, ^hSodom!
Give ear to the teaching ^{▼▼Or law} of our God,
you people of ^jGomorrah!
11 ^k“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
12 “When you come to ^lappear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
^mNew moon and Sabbath and the ⁿcalling of convocations—
I cannot endure ^oiniquity and ^psolemn assembly.
14 Your ^qnew moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you ^rspread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
^seven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
^tyour hands are full of blood.
16 ^uWash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
^vcease to do evil,
17 learn to do good;
^wseek justice,
correct oppression;
^xbring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow’s cause.

Hosea 6:6

6 For ^yI desire steadfast love ^{▼▼Septuagint mercy} and not sacrifice,
^aathe knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Amos 5:21-24

21 ^ab“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 ^acEven though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs;
to ^adthe melody of your harps I will not listen.
24 But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

Matthew 8:4

4 And Jesus said to him, ^ae“See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, ^afshow yourself to the priest and ^agoffer the gift that Moses commanded, ^ahfor a proof to them.”

Matthew 23:19

19 You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or ^aithe altar that makes the gift sacred?
