KJV ORIGINAL
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Does God really want thousands of rams sacrificed, or rivers and rivers of oil poured out? Should I sacrifice my firstborn child to make up for my mistakes, give up my own flesh and blood to pay for my sins?
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God doesn't want your expensive sacrifices or dramatic gestures — he wants your heart.
