New Living Translation
Invitation to the Lord’s Salvation
55 “Is anyone thirsty?
Come and drink—
even if you have no money!
Come, take your choice of wine or milk—

You will enjoy the finest food.

I will make an everlasting covenant with you.
I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.

6 What can we bring to the Lord?
Should we bring him burnt offerings?
Should we bow before God Most High
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?

and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.
