6 With what should I approach the LORD
and bow down before God on high?
Should I come before him
with entirely burned offerings,
with year-old calves?
7 Will the LORD be pleased
with thousands of rams,
with many torrents of oil?
Should I give my oldest child
for my crime;
the fruit of my body
for the sin of my spirit?
8 He has told you, human one,
what is good and
what the LORD requires from you:
to do justice, embrace faithful love,
and walk humbly with your God.
