Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁶⁽⁷⁾Zevach and minchah Thou didst not desire; mine ears hast Thou pierced [cf Psa 22:17]; olah (burnt offering) and chata’ah (sin offering) hast Thou not required.

New International Version

⁵Many, Lord my God,

    the things you planned for us.

    they would be too many^(C) to declare.

⁶Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—^(D)

⁷Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
    it is written about me in the scroll.^[c]^(G)
