7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,^(N)
    with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?^(O)

    the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?^(Q)
8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
    And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly^(R) and to love mercy
    and to walk humbly^[a](S) with your God.^(T)
