“It will be on Aaron’s forehead so that Aaron may bear the guilt connected with the holy offerings that the Israelites consecrate as all their holy gifts. It is always to be on his forehead, so that they may find acceptance with the LORD.

“If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to bring an unblemished male. He will bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting so that he[fn] may be accepted by the LORD.

“instead of bringing it to the entrance to the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before his tabernacle ​— ​that person will be considered guilty.[fn] He has shed blood and is to be cut off from his people.

“When you offer a fellowship sacrifice to the LORD, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

“must offer an unblemished male from the cattle, sheep, or goats in order for you to be accepted.

“When you offer a thanksgiving sacrifice to the LORD, offer it so that you may be accepted.

“He will present the sheaf before the LORD so that you may be accepted; the priest is to present it on the day after the Sabbath.

with the choice gifts of the land

and everything in it;

and with the favor of him

who appeared[fn] in the burning bush.

May these rest on the head of Joseph,

on the brow of the prince of his brothers.

He said about Naphtali:

Naphtali, enjoying approval,

full of the LORD’s blessing,

take[fn] possession to the west and the south.

He will pray to God, and God will delight in him.

That person will see his face with a shout of joy,

and God will restore his righteousness to him.

What the wicked dreads will come to him,

but what the righteous desire will be given to them.

Dishonest scales are detestable to the LORD,

but an accurate weight is his delight.

Lying lips are detestable to the LORD,

but faithful people are his delight.

Fools mock at making reparation,[fn]

but there is goodwill among the upright.

A king favors a prudent servant,

but his anger falls on a disgraceful one.

The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the LORD,

but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

The mind of the righteous person thinks before answering,

but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil things.

When a person’s ways please the LORD,

he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Righteous lips are a king’s delight,

and he loves one who speaks honestly.

The one who loves a pure heart

and gracious lips ​— ​the king is his friend.

This is what the LORD says:

I will answer you in a time of favor,

and I will help you in the day of salvation.

I will keep you, and I will appoint you

to be a covenant for the people,

to restore the land,

to make them possess the desolate inheritances,

“I will bring them to my holy mountain

and let them rejoice in my house of prayer.

Their burnt offerings and sacrifices

will be acceptable on my altar,

for my house will be called a house of prayer

for all nations.”

“Will the fast I choose be like this:

A day for a person to deny himself,

to bow his head like a reed,

and to spread out sackcloth and ashes?

Will you call this a fast

and a day acceptable to the LORD?

All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you;

the rams of Nebaioth will serve you

and go up on my altar as an acceptable sacrifice.

I will glorify my beautiful house.

to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor,

and the day of our God’s vengeance;

to comfort all who mourn,

What use to me is frankincense from Sheba

or sweet cane from a distant land?

Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;

your sacrifices do not please me.

This is another thing you do. You are covering the LORD’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning, because he no longer respects your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands.
