⁷ Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams,
In ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?

And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name:
“Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed its time?
