1 Samuel 15:22
New International Version
22 But Samuel replied:
“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as much as in obeying the Lord?
To obey is better than sacrifice,(A)
and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
Psalm 50:9-13
New International Version
9 I have no need of a bull(A) from your stall
or of goats(B) from your pens,(C)
10 for every animal of the forest(D) is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.(E)
11 I know every bird(F) in the mountains,
and the insects in the fields(G) are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
for the world(H) is mine, and all that is in it.(I)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
Psalm 51:16-19
