^w“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,

as in obeying the voice of the Lord?

Behold, ^xto obey is better than sacrifice,

and to listen than the fat of rams.

23  For rebellion is as the sin of divination,

and presumption is as iniquity and ^yidolatry.

Because ^zyou have rejected the word of the Lord,

^ahe has also rejected you from being king.”
