Lexicon :: Strong's H2654 - ḥāp̄ēṣ

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

Says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068.

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

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

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

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

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

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

To make ^H1431 the Law ^H8451 great ^H1431 and glorious ^H142.

But the LORD ^H3068 desired ^H2654

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

If ^H518 He renders ^H7760 [fn]Himself ^H5315 as a guilt ^H817 offering ^H817,

He will see ^H7200 His [fn]offspring ^H2233,

He will prolong ^H748 His days ^H3117,

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

So ^H3651 will My word ^H1697 be which ^H834 goes ^H3318 out ^H3318 of My mouth ^H6310;

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

Without ^H3588 H518 accomplishing ^H6213 what ^H834 I desire ^H2654,

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

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

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

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

And hold ^H2388 firmly ^H2388 to My covenant ^H1285,

“Yet they seek ^H1875 Me day ^H3117 by day ^H3117 and delight ^H2654 to know ^H1847 My ways ^H1870,

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

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

They ask ^H7592 Me for just ^H6664 decisions ^H4941,

They delight ^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 the LORD ^H3068 delights ^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 listen ^H8085.

Instead, you did ^H6213 evil ^H7451 in My sight ^H5869

And chose ^H977 that in which ^H834 I did not delight ^H2654.”

“But the one who slaughters ^H7819 an ox ^H7794 is like one who kills ^H5221 a person ^H376;

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

One who offers ^H5927 a grain offering ^H4503 is like one who offers pig’s ^H2386 blood ^H1818;

One who [fn]burns ^H2142 incense ^H3828 is like one who blesses ^H1288 an idol ^H205.

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

And their souls ^H5315 delight ^H2654 in their abominations ^H8251,

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

That they may hear ^H8085?

Behold ^H2009, their ears ^H241 are [fn]closed ^H6189

And they cannot ^H3201 H3808 listen ^H7181.

Behold ^H2009, the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 has become ^H1961 for them a rebuke ^H2781;

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

For I [fn]desire ^H2654 loyalty ^H2617 rather ^H3808 than ^H3808 sacrifice ^H2077,

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

Who ^H4310 is a God ^H410 like ^H3644 You, who pardons ^H5375 wrongdoing ^H5771

And passes ^H5674 over ^H5921 a rebellious ^H6588 act ^H6588 of the remnant ^H7611 of His [fn]possession ^H5159?

He does not retain ^H2388 His anger ^H639 forever ^H5703,

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

You have wearied ^H3021 the LORD ^H3068 with your words ^H1697. Yet 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 the LORD ^H3068, and He delights ^H2654 in them,” or ^H176, “Where ^H346 is the God ^H430 of justice ^H4941?”
