Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

Wherewith shall I come before the Lord? The people, convicted by the previous appeal of Yahweh to them, ask, as if they knew not (cf. Micah 6:8), what Yahweh "requires" of them to appease Him, adding that they are ready to offer an immense heap of sacrifices, and those the most costly, even to the fruit of their own body.

Shall I come before him with burnt offerings - such as are prescribed in Leviticus 1:1-17.

With calves of a year old? - the sin offering which used to be offered for a priest (Leviticus 9:2-3).
