1 Samuel 15:22

Abel, on his part, also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And Yahweh had regard for Abel and for his offering;

And Samuel said to Saul, “You have acted foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of Yahweh your God, which He commanded you, for now Yahweh would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.

Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.

For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering.

To do righteousness and justice Is chosen by Yahweh over sacrifice.

Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.

“For I did not speak to your fathers or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem

and to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as himself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
