Judith 16:16
Good News Translation
The Lord is more pleased with those who obey him than with all the choice meat on the altar, or with all the most fragrant sacrifices.

New Revised Standard Version
For every sacrifice as a fragrant offering is a small thing, and the fat of all whole burnt offerings to you is a very little thing; but whoever fears the Lord is great forever.

Contemporary English Version
It is much better to obey the Lord than to offer sweet-smelling sacrifices or the fat of choice meat.

New American Bible
Let your every creature serve you; for you spoke, and they were made. You sent forth your spirit, and it created them; no one can resist your voice.

Douay-Rheims Bible
