But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

But if these words had been in your minds, My desire is for mercy and not for offerings, you would not have been judging those who have done no wrong.

Εαν ομως εγνωριζετε τι ειναι Ελεον θελω και ουχι θυσιαν, δεν ηθελετε καταδικασει τους αθωους.

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
