Psalm 69:31 directly states that praise pleases God more than animal sacrifices—a clear parallel to this verse's rejection of them.

John 4:24 teaches that God is spirit and must be worshiped in spirit and truth—the same principle underlying God's dismissal of physical sacrifices here.

Romans 12:1 calls for offering your body as a living sacrifice—the spiritual worship that replaces the animal sacrifices God rejects here.

Deuteronomy 32:38 mocks idols that cannot consume sacrifices, echoing the same rhetorical point: God doesn't need them.
