Deuteronomy 10:20

20 ^hYou shall fear the Lord your God. You shall serve him and ⁱhold fast to him, and ^jby his name you shall swear.

Deuteronomy 30:20

20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice ^kand holding fast to him, for ^lhe is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in ^mthe land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”

Psalms 50:7-23

7 ⁿ“Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you.
^oI am God, your God.
8 Not for your sacrifices ^pdo I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9 I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 ^qI know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
^rfor the world and its fullness are mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 ^sOffer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, ^{▼▼Or Make thanksgiving your sacrifice to God}
and ^uperform your vows to the Most High,
15 and ^vcall upon me in the day of trouble;
I will ^wdeliver you, and you shall ^xglorify me.”
16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 ^yFor you hate discipline,
^zand you cast my words behind you.
18 If you see a thief, ^aayou are pleased with him,
^aband you keep company with adulterers.
19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
^acand your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother’s son.
21 These things you have done, and I ^adhave been silent;
you thought that I ^{▼▼Or that the I am} was one like yourself.
But now I ^afrebuke you and ^aglay the charge before you.
22 “Mark this, then, you who ^ahforget God,
lest I tear you apart, and there be ^ainone to deliver!
23 The one who ^ajoffers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who ^akorders his way rightly
I will show the ^alsalvation of God!”

Psalms 51:16-17

16 ^amFor you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are ^ana broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Isaiah 1:11-20

11 ^ao“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
12 “When you come to ^apappear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
^aqNew moon and Sabbath and the ^arcalling of convocations—
I cannot endure ^asiniquity and ^atsolemn assembly.
14 Your ^aunew moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you ^avspread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
^aweven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
^axyour hands are full of blood.
16 ^ayWash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
^azcease to do evil,
17 learn to do good;
^baseek justice,
correct oppression;
^bbbring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow’s cause.
18 “Come now, ^bclet us reason ^{▼▼Or dispute} together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as ^bewhite as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
19 ^bfIf you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be eaten by the sword;
^bgfor the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Micah 6:8

8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and ^bhwhat does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness, ^{▼▼Or steadfast love}
and to ^bjwalk humbly with your God?
