1 Samuel 15:22
Konteks15:22 Then Samuel said,
“Does the Lord take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as much as he does in obedience? 1
Certainly, 2 obedience 3 is better than sacrifice;
paying attention is better than 4 the fat of rams.
Hosea 6:6
Konteks6:6 For I delight in faithfulness, not simply in sacrifice;
I delight 5 in acknowledging God, not simply in whole burnt offerings. 6
Mikha 6:6-8
Konteks6:6 With what should I 7 enter the Lord’s presence?
With what 8 should I bow before the sovereign God? 9
Should I enter his presence with burnt offerings,
with year-old calves?
6:7 Will the Lord accept a thousand rams,
or ten thousand streams of olive oil?
Should I give him my firstborn child as payment for my rebellion,
my offspring – my own flesh and blood – for my sin? 10
6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good,
and what the Lord really wants from you: 11
He wants you to 12 promote 13 justice, to be faithful, 14
and to live obediently before 15 your God.

[6:6] 6 sn Contrary to popular misunderstanding, Hosea does not reject animal sacrifice nor cultic ritual, and advocate instead obedience only. Rather, God does not delight in ritual sacrifice without the accompanying prerequisite moral obedience (1 Sam 15:22; Pss 40:6-8; 51:16-17; Prov 21:3; Isa 1:11-17; Jer 7:21-23; Hos 6:6; Mic 6:6-8). However, if prerequisite moral obedience is present, he delights in sacrificial worship as an outward expression (Ps 51:19). Presented by a repentant obedient worshiper, whole burnt offerings were “an aroma pleasing” to the
