Oh that there were one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle {\i fire on} mine altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, saith Jehovah of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things {\i that came} from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
And Samuel said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
