I Samuel 15:22

22 Porém Samuel disse: Tem, porventura, o Senhor tanto prazer em holocaustos e sacrifícios quanto em que se obedeça à sua palavra? Eis que o obedecer é melhor do que o sacrificar, e o atender, melhor do que a gordura de carneiros.

22 And Samuel said, Has the Lord as much delight in offerings and burned offerings as in the doing of his orders? Truly, to do his pleasure is better than to make offerings, and to give ear to him than the fat of sheep.
