"What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?", says The LORD."I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams,and the fat of fed animals.I don't delight in the blood of bulls,or of lambs,or of male goats.

How shall I come before The LORD,and bow myself before the exalted God?Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,with calves a year old?

But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,'Hosea 6:6for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
