6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—

but my ears you have opened—

burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.

7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—

it is written about me in the scroll.

8 I desire to do your will, my God;

your law is within my heart.”

6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come: In the volume of the book it is written of me, 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: Yea, thy law is within my heart.

6 You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings.

Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand—

you don’t require burnt offerings or sin offerings.

7 Then I said, “Look, I have come.

As is written about me in the Scriptures:

8 I take joy in doing your will, my God,

for your instructions are written on my heart.”

6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;

My ears You have opened.

Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.

7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;

In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God,

And Your law is within my heart.”

6 You do not want sacrifices and offerings.

But you have made a hole in my ear

to show that my body and life are yours.

You do not ask for burnt offerings

and sacrifices to take away sins.

7 Then I said, “Look, I have come.

It is written about me in the book.

8 My God, I want to do what you want.

Your teachings are in my heart.”

6 Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in;

Mine ears hast thou opened:

Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.

7 Then said I, Lo, I am come;

In the roll of the book it is written of me:

8 I delight to do thy will, O my God;

Yea, thy law is within my heart.

6 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded; 7 Then said I, Behold, I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me— 8 To do thy good pleasure, my God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.

6 You were not pleased with sacrifices and offerings. 

You have dug out two ears for me. 

You did not ask for burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin. 

7 Then I said, “I have come! 

(It is written about me in the scroll of the book.) 

8 I am happy to do your will, O my God.” 

Your teachings are deep within me. 

6 You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;

You open my ears to listen.

You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.

7 Then I said, “See, I have come;

it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.

8 I delight to do Your will, my God;

Your instruction lives within me.”

6 Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,

but you have given me an open ear.

Burnt offering and sin offering

you have not required.

7 Then I said, “Here I am;

in the scroll of the book it is written of me.

8 I delight to do your will, O my God;

your law is within my heart.”

6 A sacrifice and offering you do not desire.

My ears you have opened.

Burnt offering and sin offering you have not demanded.

7 Then I said, “Look, I come.

In the scroll of the book

it is written concerning me:

8 ‘I delight to do your will, O my God,

and your law is deep within me.’ ”

6 You didn’t want sacrifices and offerings.

You weren’t pleased with burnt offerings and sin offerings.

You gave me ears to hear you and obey you.

7 Then I said, “Here I am.

It is written about me in the scroll.

8 My God, I have come to do what you want.

Your law is in my heart.”

6 Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;

My ears You have opened;

Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.

7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;

In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God;

Your Law is within my heart.”
