ESVEnglish Standard Version

In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,

but you have given me an open ear.

Burnt offering and sin offering

you have not required.

Then I said, “Behold, I have come;

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

I delight to do your will, O my God;

your law is within my heart.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—

but my ears you have opened—

burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.

Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—

it is written about me in the scroll.

I desire to do your will, my God;

your law is within my heart.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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.

Then I said, “See, I have come;

in the scroll it is written about me.

I delight to do your will, my God,

and your instruction is deep within me.”

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

Then I said, “Look, I have come.

As is written about me in the Scriptures:

I take joy in doing your will, my God,

for your instructions are written on my heart.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

A sacrifice and offering you do not desire.

My ears you have opened.

Burnt offering and sin offering you have not demanded.

Then I said, “Look, I come.

In the scroll of the book

it is written concerning me:

‘I delight to do your will, O my God,

and your law is deep within me.’ ”
