17 The sacrifice that God wants is a humble spirit.
    God, you will not turn away someone who comes with a humble heart and is willing to obey you.[a]

18 God, please be good to Zion.

19 Then you can enjoy the kind of sacrifices you want.[b]
    You will receive whole burnt offerings,
    and people will again offer bulls on your altar.
