NASB
""But if you had known what this means, 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT A SACRIFICE,' you would not have condemned the innocent."
— Matthew 12:7, NASB
“But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.”
“But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. ”
“But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.”
“If you had known what this means:‘I want mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.”

“But if these words had been in your minds, My desire is for mercy and not for offerings, you would not have been judging those who have done no wrong.”
“But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.”
