What Does the Lord Require?
6 (A)“With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before (B)God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 (C)Will the Lord be pleased with[a] thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
(D)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 (E)what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,[b]
and to (F)walk humbly with your God?

12 (A)Stand fast in your enchantments
and your many sorceries,
with which you have labored from your youth;
perhaps you may be able to succeed;
perhaps you may inspire terror.
13 You are wearied with your many counsels;
let them stand forth and save you,
(B)those who divide the heavens,
who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.

because they are full of things (A)from the east
and (B)of fortune-tellers (C)like the Philistines,
and they (D)strike hands with the children of foreigners.
