What Does the Lord Require?
6 [Hos. 5:6;Heb. 10:4] "With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before Isa. 57:15God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 See 1 Sam. 15:22Will the Lord be pleased with6:7 Or Will the Lord accept thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
2 Kgs. 3:27;16:3;21:6;23:10;[Lev. 18:21]Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and [Deut. 10:12] what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,6:8 Or steadfast love
and to [Gen. 5:22]walk humbly with your God?
