Hebrews 10:8

6 In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.

7 Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”

In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).

9 Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

10 And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
