ISV(i)
1 The Law is a ReflectionFor the Law, being only a reflection of the blessings to come and not their substance, can never make perfect those who come near by the same sacrifices repeatedly offered year after year.
2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped offering them, because the worshipers, cleansed once for all, would no longer be aware of any sins?
3 Instead, through those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year,
4 for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5The Messiah Offered One SacrificeFor this reason, the Scriptures say, when the Messiah was about to come into the world: “You did not want sacrifices and offerings, but you prepared a body for me.
6 In burnt offerings and sin offerings you never took delight.
7 Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do your will, O God’ In the volume of the scroll this is written about me.”
8 In this passage he says, “You never wanted or took delight in sacrifices, offerings, burnt offerings, and sin offerings,” which are offered according to the Law.
9 Then he says, “See, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.
