Numbers 23:15

"And Samuel said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams."

"For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest `as an offering' for sin, are burned without the camp."

"But cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King, saith Jehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the Gentiles."

"who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;"

"persecutions, sufferings. What things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me."

"But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people."

"And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what `shall be' the sign when these things are about to come to pass?"

"Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm ravageth, and fleeth away."

"I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him:"

"Israel is a luxuriant vine, that putteth forth his fruit: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied his altars; according to the goodness of their land they have made goodly pillars."

"Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound; I have made thee desolate because of thy sins."

"In all places wherein I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedar?"
