Psalm 50:9-14

New American Standard Bible

⁹I will not take a ^(A)bull from your house,
Nor male goats from your folds.
¹⁰For ^(B)every animal of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.
¹¹I know every ^(C)bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is ^[a]Mine.
¹²If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the ^(D)world is Mine, and ^[b]everything it contains.
¹³Shall I eat the flesh of ^[c]^(E)bulls
Or drink the blood of male goats?
¹⁴Offer God ^(F)a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And ^(G)pay your vows to the Most High;

Micah 6:6-8

New American Standard Bible

What God Requires of Mankind

⁶^(A)With what shall I come to the Lord
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come to Him with ^(B)burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
⁷Does the Lord take pleasure in ^(C)thousands of rams,
In ten thousand rivers of ^[a]oil?
Shall I give Him my ^(D)firstborn for my wrongdoings,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
⁸He has ^(E)told you, mortal one, what is good;
And ^(F)what does the Lord require of you
But to ^(G)do justice, to ^(H)love ^[b]kindness,
And to walk ^[c]^(I)humbly with your God?

²²Samuel said,

“^(A)Does the Lord have as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, ^(B)to obey is better than a sacrifice,
And to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.
