What God Requires of Mankind
6 With what shall I come to the Lord
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
7 Does the Lord take pleasure in thousands of rams,
In ten thousand rivers of 6:7 I.e., olive oiloil?
Shall I give Him my firstborn for my wrongdoings,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has told you, mortal one, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, to love 6:8 Or loyaltykindness,
And to walk 6:8 Or circumspectlyhumbly with your God?
