6
What can we bring to the Lord ?
What kind of offerings should we give him?
Should we bow before God
with offerings of yearling calves?
7
Should we offer him thousands of rams
and ten thousand rivers of olive oil?
Should we sacrifice our firstborn children
to pay for our sins?
8
No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.
