Lexicon :: Strong's H2654 - ḥāp̄ēṣ

“What ^H4100 are your multiplied ^H7230 sacrifices ^H2077 to Me?”

Says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068.

“I [fn]have had ^H7646 enough ^H7646 of burnt ^H5930 offerings ^H5930 of rams ^H352

And the fat ^H2459 of fed ^H4806 cattle ^H4806;

And in the blood ^H1818 of bulls ^H6499, lambs ^H3532, or goats ^H6260 [fn]I take ^H2654 no ^H3808 pleasure ^H2654.

Behold ^H2009, I am going to awaken ^H5782 the Medes ^H4074 against ^H5921 them,

Who ^H834 will not think ^H2803 about silver ^H3701 or take ^H2654 pleasure ^H2654 in gold ^H2091.

Yahweh ^H3068 was pleased ^H2654 for His righteousness’ ^H6664 sake ^H4616

That He make ^H1431 the law ^H8451 great ^H1431 and majestic ^H142.

But [fn]Yahweh ^H3068 was pleased ^H2654

To crush ^H1792 Him, [fn]putting ^H2470 Him to grief ^H2470;

If ^H518 You would place ^H7760 His soul ^H5315 as a guilt ^H817 offering ^H817,

He will see ^H7200 His seed ^H2233,

He will prolong ^H748 His days ^H3117,

And the [fn]good ^H2656 pleasure ^H2656 of Yahweh ^H3068 will succeed ^H6743 in His hand ^H3027.

So ^H3651 will My word ^H1697 be which ^H834 goes ^H3318 forth ^H3318 from My mouth ^H6310;

It will not return ^H7725 to Me empty ^H7387,

Without ^H3588 H518 accomplishing ^H6213 what ^H834 pleases ^H2654 Me,

And without succeeding ^H6743 in the matter for which ^H834 I sent ^H7971 it.

For thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“To the eunuchs ^H5631 who ^H834 keep ^H8104 My sabbaths ^H7676,

And choose ^H977 what ^H834 pleases ^H2654 Me,

And hold ^H2388 fast ^H2388 My covenant ^H1285,

“Yet they seek ^H1875 Me day ^H3117 by day ^H3117 and find ^H2654 pleasure ^H2654 in knowing ^H1847 My ways ^H1870,

As a nation ^H1471 that has done ^H6213 righteousness ^H6666

And has not forsaken ^H5800 the judgment ^H4941 of their God ^H430.

They ask ^H7592 Me for righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941;

They find ^H2654 pleasure ^H2654 in the nearness ^H7132 of God ^H430.

It will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be said ^H559 to you, “[fn]Forsaken ^H5800,”

Nor ^H3808 to your land ^H776 will it any ^H5750 longer ^H5750 be said ^H559, “[fn]Desolate ^H8077”;

But you will be called ^H7121, “[fn]My delight ^H2656 is in her,”

And your land ^H776, “[fn]Married ^H1166”;

For Yahweh ^H3068 takes ^H2654 pleasure ^H2654 in you,

And to Him your land ^H776 will be married ^H1166.

I will destine ^H4487 you for the sword ^H2719,

And all ^H3605 of you will bow ^H3766 down ^H3766 to the slaughter ^H2874,

Because ^H3282 I called ^H7121, but you did not answer ^H6030;

I spoke ^H1696, but you did not hear ^H8085.

And you did ^H6213 what ^H7451 was evil ^H7451 in My eyes ^H5869

And chose ^H977 that in which ^H834 I was not pleased ^H2654.”

“But he who slaughters ^H7819 an ox ^H7794 is the one who strikes ^H5221 down ^H5221 a man ^H376;

He who sacrifices ^H2076 a lamb ^H7716 is the one who breaks ^H6202 a dog’s ^H3611 neck ^H6202;

He who offers ^H5927 a grain offering ^H4503 is the one who offers swine’s ^H2386 blood ^H1818;

He who offers ^H2142 a memorial ^H2142 offering ^H2142 of frankincense ^H3828 is the one who blesses ^H1288 wickedness ^H205.

As they have chosen ^H977 their own ways ^H1870,

And their soul ^H5315 takes ^H2654 pleasure ^H2654 in their detestable ^H8251 things ^H8251,

To whom ^H4310 shall I speak ^H1696 and give ^H5749 warning ^H5749

That they may hear ^H8085?

Behold ^H2009, their ears ^H241 are uncircumcised ^H6189,

And they cannot ^H3201 H3808 give ^H7181 heed ^H7181.

Behold ^H2009, the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 has become ^H1961 a reproach ^H2781 to them;

They have ^H2654 no ^H3808 delight ^H2654 in it.

For I delight ^H2654 in lovingkindness ^H2617 rather ^H3808 than ^H3808 sacrifice ^H2077,

And in the knowledge ^H1847 of God ^H430 rather ^H4480 than ^H4480 burnt ^H5930 offerings ^H5930.

Who ^H4310 is a God ^H410 like ^H3644 You, who forgives ^H5375 iniquity ^H5771

And passes ^H5674 over ^H5921 the transgression ^H6588 of the remnant ^H7611 of His inheritance ^H5159?

He does not hold ^H2388 fast ^H2388 to His anger ^H639 forever ^H5703

Because ^H3588 He delights ^H2654 in lovingkindness ^H2617.

You have wearied ^H3021 Yahweh ^H3068 with your words ^H1697. But you say ^H559, “How ^H4100 have we wearied ^H3021 Him?” In that you say ^H559, “Everyone ^H3605 who does ^H6213 evil ^H7451 is good ^H2896 in the sight ^H5869 of Yahweh ^H3068, and He delights ^H2654 in them,” or ^H176, “Where ^H346 is the God ^H430 of justice ^H4941?”
