They worshiped Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

Let them present thank offerings, and loudly proclaim what he has done!

Offer the prescribed sacrifices and trust in the Lord!

He says: “Assemble my covenant people before me, those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice!”

I am not condemning you because of your sacrifices, or because of your burnt sacrifices that you continually offer me.

I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the Lord.

Receiving sacrifices and offerings are not your primary concern. You make that quite clear to me! You do not ask for burnt sacrifices and sin offerings.

Certainly you do not want a sacrifice, or else I would offer it; you do not desire a burnt sacrifice.

The sacrifices God desires are a humble spirit – O God, a humble and repentant heart you will not reject.

Then you will accept the proper sacrifices, burnt sacrifices and whole offerings; then bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.

Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! I will sing praises to the Lord!
