UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

You have no delight in sacrifice or offering

(Some words not found in UHB: many you(ms)_have_done/made you(ms) YHWH God,my wonders,your and,thoughts,your toward,us not compare with,you proclaim and,tell numerous too_~_to,count )

This is an exaggeration to express that other things are much more important to God. Alternate translation: “Sacrifices and other offerings are not the things that delight you most”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Some words not found in UHB: many you(ms)_have_done/made you(ms) YHWH God,my wonders,your and,thoughts,your toward,us not compare with,you proclaim and,tell numerous too_~_to,count )

(Some words not found in UHB: many you(ms)_have_done/made you(ms) YHWH God,my wonders,your and,thoughts,your toward,us not compare with,you proclaim and,tell numerous too_~_to,count )
