8  He has told you, O man, what is good;

and ^fwhat does the Lord require of you

but to do justice, and to love kindness,¹

and to ^gwalk humbly with your God?

^w“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,

as in obeying the voice of the Lord?

Behold, ^xto obey is better than sacrifice,

and to listen than the fat of rams.
