“^(A)Has Yahweh as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
As in obeying the voice of Yahweh?
Behold, ^(B)to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.

^6 (A)With what shall I come before Yahweh
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come before Him with ^(B)burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
⁷ Is Yahweh pleased with ^(C)thousands of rams,
With ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I give my ^(D)firstborn for my transgression,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
⁸ He has ^(E)told you, O man, what is good;
And ^(F)what does Yahweh require of you
But to ^(G)do justice, to ^(H)love lovingkindness,
And to walk ^[a](I)humbly with your God?
