BrLXX Οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ὁ ὕψιστος ἐν προσφοραῖς ἀσεβῶν, οὐδὲ ἐγ πλήθει θυσιῶν ἐξιλάσκεται ἁμαρτίας.
(Ouk eudokei ho hupsistos en prosforais asebōn, oude eg plaʸthei thusiōn exilasketai hamartias. )

BrTr The most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices.

WEBBE ⇔ How sufficient to a well-mannered man is a very little.
⇔ He doesn’t breathe heavily in his bed.

KJB-1611 [fn]A very litle is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short vpon his bed.
(A very little is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed.)

31:19 Or, & lieth not pussing and blowing.
