Proverbs 15:8New Messianic Version BibleThe sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: but the prayer of the upright [is] his delight. See the chapter |
I know also, my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], that youi try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy youi people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto youi.
He that kills an ox [is as if] he killed a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offers an oblation, [as if he offered] swine’s blood; he that burns incense, [as if] he Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
O my dove, [that are] in the clefts of the rock, in the secret [places] of the stairs, let me see youi Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor), let me hear youi voice; for sweet [is] youi voice, and youi Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor) [is] comely (attractive; proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular); becoming).
And Avshalom [my father is peace] sent for Achitofel [my brother i foolish] the Giloni [gentilic of preceding], David’s [beloved]’s counselor, from his city, [even] from Giloh [Exile], while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Avshalom [my father is peace].
