6 Wherewith shall

Shall I come
before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Will the
Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands
of rivers of
oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit
of my body for
the sin of my soul?
8 He hath
shewed thee, O man, what is good; and
what doth the
Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk
