1 Samuel 15:22

22 And Samuel said,

“^aHas Yahweh as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices

As in obeying the voice of Yahweh?

Behold, ^bto obey is better than sacrifice,

And to heed than the fat of rams.

Isaiah 1:15

So when you ^aspread out your hands in prayer,

^bI will hide My eyes from you;

Indeed, even though you ^cmultiply prayers,

I will not listen.

“^aWash yourselves, ^bpurify yourselves;

^cRemove the evil of your deeds from before My eyes.

^dCease to do evil,
