no prince, no burnt offering, no sacrifice,
no oblation, no incense,
no place where we can make offerings to you
and win your favour.
But may the contrite soul,
the humbled spirit,
be as acceptable to you
as burnt offerings of rams and bullocks,
as thousands of fat lambs:
such let our sacrifice be to you today,
and may it please you
that we follow you wholeheartedly,
since those who trust in you will not be shamed.
And now we put our whole heart into following you,
into fearing you and seeking your face once more.
Daniel 3.38-41
