8 Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you; your burnt offerings are continually before me.(A)
9 I will not accept a bull from your house or goats from your folds.(A)
20 I will take you for my wife in faithfulness, and you shall know the Lord.(A)
13 Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous but sinners.”(A)
