“To do righteousness and justiceis more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.”
Proverbs 21:3 (WEB)
Context Reading
1The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses.He turns it wherever he desires. 2Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,but Yahweh weighs the hearts. 3To do righteousness and justiceis more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice. 4A high look and a proud heart,the lamp of the wicked, is sin. 5The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit;and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
