8 In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law.	8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: he taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth.	9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
