And to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.

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?
7 Does 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?
8 He 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?
Hebrews 10:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 Therefore, (A)when He comes into the world, He says,
“(B)You have not desired sacrifice and offering,
But (C)You have prepared a body for Me;
6 (D)You have not taken pleasure in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin.
7 (E)Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come
(It is written of Me in (F)the scroll of the book)
To do Your will, O God.’”
