|
|
23. You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, or wearied you with frankincense.
|
23. Thou hast not H3808 brought H935 me the small cattle H7716 of thy burnt offerings H5930 ; neither H3808 hast thou honored H3513 me with thy sacrifices H2077 . I have not H3808 caused thee to serve H5647 with an offering H4503 , nor H3808 wearied H3021 thee with incense H3828 .
