^8 (A)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
    but ^(B)the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.

^20 (A)What use to me is ^(B)frankincense that comes from ^(C)Sheba,
    or sweet cane from a distant land?
^(D)Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,
    nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.

^3 (A)“He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;
    he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck;
he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers ^(B)pig's blood;
    he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
^(C)These have chosen their own ways,
    and their soul delights in their abominations;

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