Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole offering; then they shall make go up bulls on Your altar.
Who among you fears Jehovah, obeying the voice of His Servant, who walks in darkness, and no light is in Him? Let Him trust in the name of Jehovah, and lean on His God.
