It will please the LORD better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.
Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him.*
Take words with you, and return to the LORD. Tell him, *Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good: so we offer our lips like bulls.
Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.
You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Yeshua the Messiah.
