16. That the ancient
sacrifice should be made void, and a new one should be celebrated.
In Isaiah: “For what purpose to me is
the multitude of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am full; I
will not have the burnt sacrifices of rams, and fat of lambs, and blood
of bulls and goats. For who hath required these things from your
hands?”3881
Also
in the forty-ninth Psalm: “I will not eat the flesh of
bulls, nor drink the blood of goats. Offer to God the sacrifice
of praise, and pay your vows to the Most High. Call upon me in
the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee: and thou shalt
glorify me.”3882
In the same Psalm,
moreover: “The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me:
therein is the way in which I will show him the salvation of
God.”3883
In
the fourth Psalm too: “Sacrifice the sacrifice of
righteousness, and hope in the Lord.”3884
Likewise in Malachi:
“I have no pleasure concerning you, saith the Lord, and I will
not have an accepted offering from your hands. Because from the
rising of the sun, even unto the going down of the same, my name is
glorified among the Gentiles; and in every place odours of incense are
offered to my name, and a pure sacrifice, because great is my name
among the nations, saith the Lord.”3885
