I will not take a (A)bull from your house,
Nor male goats from your folds.
10 For (B)every animal of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every (C)bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is [a]Mine.

  1. Psalm 50:11 Or in My mind; lit with Me

What God Requires of Mankind

(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?
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?

  1. Micah 6:7 I.e., olive oil

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;
(D)You have not taken pleasure in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin.
(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.’”

After saying above, “(G)Sacrifices and offerings and (H)whole burnt offerings and offerings (I)for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law), then He [a]said, “(J)Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.
