Judith 16:16

16 The pleasant fragrance of all offerings is a small thing to you, and the fat of all entirely burned offerings means even less to you. But those who fear the Lord are great forever.

Judith 16:16 In-Context

14 May all of your creation serve you; you spoke, and they came into being. You sent forth your spirit and it shaped them; there is no one who can resist your voice.
15 The mountains will be shaken from their foundations with the waters; rocks will melt like wax before you. Yet you will show mercy to those who fear you.
16 The pleasant fragrance of all offerings is a small thing to you, and the fat of all entirely burned offerings means even less to you. But those who fear the Lord are great forever.
17 How terrible it will be for those nations who rise up against my people. The Lord Almighty will take vengeance upon them on the Judgment Day. He will send fire and worms into their flesh, and they will weep forever with the pain.
18 When they arrived in Jerusalem, they worshipped God. Once the people were purified, they offered their entirely burned offerings and spontaneous gifts.
