²⁷ one bullock, a son of the herd, one ram, one lamb, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering;

⁸ Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings `Are' before Me continually.

⁹ I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.

¹⁰ For Mine `is' every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.

¹¹ I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field `is' with Me.

¹² If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine `is' the world and its fulness.

¹³ Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?

¹⁴ Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.

¹⁶ For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give `it', Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.

¹¹ `Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated `with' burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.

²² For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,

²² For though ye cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And the peace-offering of your fatlings I behold not.
